Abstract: THE diode matrix is usually thought of as a component in electronic circuits using diodes of small physical size and having current-carrying capacity in microamperes. This paper describes an ...

Figure 1 A series diode protects systems from reverse polarity but wastes power in diode losses. Figure 2 You can use a bridge rectifier so that your system works no matter what the input polarity is.

Abstract: This paper highlights significant advancements in the creation and enhancement of equivalent circuit models for solar cells. First, two novel configurations are proposed to enhance the ...

Here is the simple diode circuit and the I-V characteristic curve of a diode. The circuit shows a diode connected in series with a resistor and a DC voltage source. The I-V characteristic curve ...

Relays are common electromechanical devices in electrical circuits that come in two types: either latched or non-latched. Latched relays retain their last switch position even after complete power ...

The addition of a components and an unused NC contact to a dc supply provides a power-reducing feature to a relay driver circuit. Electromagnetic relays need much less power for holding than they do ...

I have a standard irrigation system with 24VAC solenoids. I have built a simple Arduino + ethernet shield connected to a 4xopto-isolated-relay board for controlling each of my 4 sprinklers. I have the ...
