For a "better way", research Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT.) The solar cell will produce some number of Volts and Amps. But the amount of power (V*A, Watts) a solar cell produces is not simpl...
In addition, welding in general doesn't require high voltage, but rather high current. As Olin explains, the high voltage is only needed to get the shielding gas ionized into a plasma state - then...
Yet another example. If using MOSFETs only for power switching applications, it can seem like these are "robust" and "immune" to ESD events. While the package clearly states "ESD sensitive", devi...
To truly "open circuit test" a motor as I interpret it, remove it from power, and measure the following: Using an Ohmmeter, measure each winding resistance. Start from W1 to W2. This will be...
