Why do the polarities of the capacitor change while discharging?
I was going through the working of class D commutation and the article said:
As soon as the capacitor completely discharges, its polarities will be reversed but due to the presence of diode the ...

What factors affect a thyristor's “circuit commutated turn-off time”?
In datasheets, they give this value at a certain operation point (voltage, current, and di/dt). My question is... What are the effects of changing these parameters.
For example, if di/dt is ...

Is zero loss turn-off possible for thyristors?
Consider this very basic circuit:
simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
Don't mind the values - they don't matter, as this question is conceptual.
Imagine that Vcomm is ...

Looking for reed relays for high voltage commutation
I need to chose a reed relay for connecting a point to high voltage (probably between 7000V:15000V) or to GND signals.
System will have 8 channels (pins). Some of 8 pins will be connected to high ...

SSRs influenced by physical proximity?
This is part of a two-head EVSE. The two solid-state relays are used to drive contactors that supply high current power to the vehicles. I used to use a MOC3040 based triac circuit for this job, but ...

Newbie question: Feasible way of amplifying 100+ channels of slow and low amplitude signal
I want to amplify signal coming in hundreds of channels (sensor array each producing a very low amplitude 30-200Hz signal). For every channel i care only about intensity of the signal (i don't need ...

How to add back emf as part of this sinusoidal commutation equation
I recently found a nice article on sinusoidal commutation which has a simple exposition of the subject. The torque is derived from first principles but the equation seems not to include BEMF.
Does ...

Commutation overlap symmetry
Let's say we have three phase diode (ignore SCR in the picture) rectifier:
With no source inductance, diodes are conducting at following angles:
Diode 1: 30º < X < 150º
Diode 4: 210º < X &...

How did rotary converter commutators conduct electricity?
I've been reading about rotary converters and examining photographs, but I've noticed that nearly all have a very strange (to me) commutator design. It looks like a piece of wire screen rather than ...
