Charge Controllers PWM Vs MPPT

PWM Vs MPPT Charge Controllers are the devices which control the input Voltage and current.The applications vary from Solar, Wind or  UPS backup systems etc.These Charge controllers are introduced due to a specific purpose that is to restrict the unwanted spikes in current or voltages to a Battery or other devices so as to protect the Battery from damage. There are types of Charge Controllers mainly PWM vs MPPT.The PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) is the oldest way of controlling the I-V characteristics and the later is the MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) is the newest addition to improving the battery life. If the Solar Panel Output cannot be controlled then the battery connected without charge controller will get damage due to uneven output and there is a chance of overcharging that leads to the blasting of battery in extreme cases. What is PWM Charge Controller?                                   PWM refers to Pulse Width Modulation Charge Controller, is a tested and o

What is MCB & How it Works?

MCB refers to (Miniature Circuit Breaker) is a device which protects the electrical system from the abnormalities due to overcurrents and protects the load connected to the system. Now da days various ranges of MCB’s are used from 6A to 16KA in Various domestic, Commercial and Industrial Sectors.Sometimes MCB’s can be called as switches due to the ON/OFF operation, The switching has to be done by manually; under a faulty condition, the switch or the operating lever will trip automatically and after fault cleared the operating lever has to bring normal by manually. The electromechanical device has 2 arrangements; 1.Thermal 2.Magnetic The Thermal arrangement of the MCB is to protect from OverTemperature Faults, it has bimetallic strips which in turn actuates the contactor or latch to trip the supply.Generally, bimetallic strips are made from Brass and steel.Under the Faulty condition, the bimetallic strip got heated and bend from one side to other due to the dif

What is a Diode?

Rectifiers are the device which converts AC(Alternating Current) int0 Direct Current.The conversion requires a device which can perform those operations are called Power Diodes.                                            The example of a rectifier is Power Diode which allows current in one direction only from its anode to cathode(forward direction) and blocks in the backward direction due to its semiconductive properties.

The example of a rectifier is Power Diode which allows current in one direction only from its anode to cathode(forward direction) and blocks in the backward direction due to its semiconductive properties. The Diode is made of Silicon or Germanium; P and N-type were made by adding impurities to the silicon which will be either trivalent or Pentavalent element. The Process of add

RCCB Vs ELCB

                                                                                                                                              RCCB refers to Residual Current Circuit Breaker which is a rival to the ELCB (Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker). As both the circuit breaker works for the same cause but the difference is RCCB connectivity is different also it gives better protection over ELCB. ELCB is a voltage operated device which has Line,Neutral, and Earth Connections detects potential in the earth when the voltage is non-zero and indicates that there should be a leakage current in the earth and it protects by tripping.The ELCB can protect from earth fault only  and doesn't provide protection from overload and short circuit so better opt for RCCB than ELCB. Meanwhile, RCCB which has Line and Neutral connections and the working is when there is a difference in current level from Line to neutral indicates a fault or earth leakage and it trips.As line current alw

Lithium ion batteries

Lithium ion batteries,These batteries are now becoming popular especially in telecom sectors,Space projects etc...because of their charging and discharging feature,Compact,energy density and finally the monitoring feature involved in Li-Ion batteries. Working of a Battery? The battery is a storage device that converts Chemical Energy to Elecrical Energy.These batteries are having 3 major parts or components which are Anode(negatively charged),Cathode(Positively charged) and Electrolytes. For example,Take one container and fill it with diluted sulfuric acid as a electrolyte. Now immerse zinc and one copper rod in the solution and connect them externally by an electric load.This is called voltaic cell, Current will start flowing through the external load. Zinc in diluted sulfuric acid gives up electrons as below: Zn ----->Zn++  + 2e-                                                 These Zn + + ions pass into the electrolyte, and their concentration is very high n
