The objective of this article is to provide an explanation of the theoretical workings of single phase induction motors, such that individuals without an engineering background can develop a well-rounded comprehension of their operation. Upon finishing this article, the reader should have the ability to describe the driving force behind the armature’s motion, the means […]
This blog describes how to test components indirectly without unnecessary disassembly. You’ll save time by testing components remotely via easily accessible areas such as the console of an appliance. In this blog, the subject appliance is an electric dryer. When the start button was pressed, nothing happened. There was no noise and apparently no power […]
Loose upstream connections in voltage sources can cause “voltage loss” in high current loads. This is because a voltage divider (and incidental secondary load) is created by the loose connection, which robs the primary load of available voltage. In doing this, the loose connection dissipates power (in the form of heat). Why Loose Connections are […]
