At some point in your engineering career, you will probably have to design a power supply. Every electronic product or system needs one. The first two decisions to make when addressing your ...

Power supplies are a frequently misunderstood—and overlooked—PC component. Many users choose a PC power supply based on total wattage alone, assuming that higher is always synonymous with better.

A low-frequency, three-phase electrostatic precipitator (ESP) power supply was developed to overcome the many reliability problems with the designs in common use today. Field test results were ...

A few months ago, we looked at the Fractal Design Newton R3 800W unit, and while we were rather pleased with what the unit had to offer, it just didn't stand out from what was already on the market.

DC motors come in many forms, but they all have the same job: turning electrical energy (DC) into mechanical energy. Although DC motors have a common operating principle, many applications—including ...

Lian Li has just unveiled the Lian Li Edge power supply, an ingenious new shape of PSU that is designed to be much easier for owners of dual chamber cases to use. The secret to the design is that ...

A PC power supply won’t boost your frame rate, but it will make sure everything in your PC is safe, secure, and running efficiently. A bad PSU risks system crashes at stock settings – nevermind ...
