The minimum wire gauge for a 40 amp breaker is 8 AWG copper or 6 AWG aluminum. It is based on cable sizes. The ampacity of 8 AWG copper wire is about 50 amps for 75 degrees and the ampacity of 6 AWG aluminum wire is 50 amps for 75 degrees. The 6AWG copper wire…
The PCB board is considered the main component of electronic devices and projects. It is now the main part of small calculators and larger machines used in industries. PCB boards come with different conductive layers for the current flow of components connected to them. For proper electrical conductivity of conductive layers, a coating called PCB…
The voltage regulator is the main component for PCB board design to ensure stable and constant voltage for the circuit and the device’s proper operation. It is important for PCB designs since it helps to operate sensitive devices that need a certain voltage value and can affect voltage fluctuations in supply. This tutorial will cover…
Older types of electric dryers come with 3 conductors, which are two hot wires and one is used as ground and neutral wire. There was no dedicated ground slot on the outlet and the dryer cords did not come with a ground wire or ground prong. It worked well but came with chances of electric…
Marine batteries made use of hard and elevated plates. It helps the battery to avoid short circuits when bouncing with the boat during rough water. This battery has some important processes for proper structure. Here we will compare marine and car batteries and find differences. So let’s get started with MARINE BATTERY VS. CAR BATTERY…
Charging a 24-volt lithium battery is important for proper operation and longer working life. As lithium batteries are becoming common due to high energy density and longer working life the proper technique for charging is important for increased efficiency. Here we will discuss the charging of a 24V lithium battery. So let’s get started with…
There are different batteries used in electronic devices and circuits, each comes with its own features and parameters. Lithium battery comes in different types based on cathode material like lithium polymer battery vs lithium ion. Here we will cover the features of these two batteries and find different parameters. So let’s get started with Lithium-Ion…
The battery connection affects the working life of batteries and the power provided by them. But if there are many batteries needed for any project can be a difficult process. Here we will learn the process for connection of batteries in parallel and series combination. Battery is considered as the main component of our electronic…
The battery is commonly used for devices such as remote controls, smoke detectors, phones, laptops, etc.; our life is currently based on battery. A 1.5-volt battery is used in small torches watches and other devices. So let’s get started with What is a 1.5-volt battery? What is a 1.5v battery? 1.5 volt is the commonly…
In the early 1990s, mostly portable devices were powered with nickel-cadmium (NiCad) batteries. Since NiCad batteries were low cost and had a simple sharing process, they were low power and came with toxic materials that had bad effects on the environment. So NiMH and Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries are used as replacements for Ni-Cad batteries since has better…
