Switch ELECTRICALLY SAFE between 3 resistive loads (16 A each) on a 16 A line
How to switch 3 resistive consumers (heaters), each having a current consumption of nearly 16 A alternate & ELECTRICALLY SAFELY (German standards)?
So that only one of them heats at a time and the ...

DC-DC buck converter inductor current
Draw a simple dc to dc buck converter fed with dc voltage of constant magnitude (= E). The
converter supplies a resistive load (=R). Draw the shape of voltage waveform across the
freewheeling diode. ...

What happens if a ceramic power resistor is heated well past its rating?
What would likely happen if a ceramic power resistor was powered well over its power rating (for test/learning purposes and likely buried inside a bucket of sand)? By "well over", I mean 10 ...

Control power through a resistive load from a DC source and achieve low current peaks
I want to control the power through a resistive load from a DC source and achieve low current peaks. The use case is 0-1000VDC and 0-15kW (not for the entire voltage range). All other parameters and ...

How do I calculate the real power curve of a PWM resistive load supplied by rectified AC?
When AC is put through a capacitor filtered full wave rectifier, the output voltage is ~1.414 x RMS input voltage for zero load, and nominally equivalent to the RMS voltage when connected to a pure ...

Multipole Network Power Calculation
How do we calculate the DC power consumption of a multipole resistive network, if we know the currents of all the poles (pins) and all the voltages between the poles?
Let's say for example, that we ...

Is a protection diode needed for a resistive load?
In some applications a flyback diode is added parallel to the load. Is that because the switching causes reverse voltage for inductive loads? What if we have a resistive load instead? Do we still need ...
