Traditional heavy-duty commercial vehicles such as trucks represent only 7% of vehicles on the road but account for over 25% of fuel consumption in the USA. Legislation, such as the US global warming emissions and fuel efficiency standards for medium and heavy-duty vehicles (M/HDV) exists to tackle this problem. However, emissions will never be totally eliminated from an internal combustion engine. One answer is to replace commercial vehicles powered by internal combustion with electric counterparts. Commercial vehicles, suc...

Resistors play a fundamental role in our electronic components. In this article, youll learn the top 4 Practical applications of resistors in our daily life. Mobile phone charger Just like the laptop, a mobile phone charger contains a number of resistors that are responsible for controlling the required amount of current. You might have noticed the amount of current on your mobile charger displaying something like 500 mA, 700 mA, 900 mA, 1.0 A or 2.0 A. This is actually the amount of current. A resistor is a basic component ...

High voltage resistors, like NUB series, are used in a wide range of applications including Power supplies, ESD protection, Electron Microscope, Air Ionising equipment, RADAR equipment and ATE. One of the main application of high voltage resistor dividers is in power supplies with a feedback loop for regulation purposes. Appropriate choice of resistor values and their ratio determines the feedback voltage. For optimal performance a primary high voltage resistor is often combined with a secondary low voltage resistor. To prev...

Strain gages are fundamental sensing devices that function as the building blocks of many other types of transducersincluding pressure, load, and torque sensorsused extensively in structural test and monitoring applications. An example of such a transducer is a load cell that converts a mechanical force to an electrical output signal. In these designs, gages are connected as a Wheatstone bridge, resulting in an accurate and rugged transducer that can operate in extreme environments. To achieve accuracy, the Wheatstone bridge ...

There are a vast array of power supplies on the market, and the variety of resistor applications in those designs broaden the selection dramatically. So, for the purpose of this article, power supplies will be referred to as devices that have fixed DC outputs up to several kV. Whatever the application, power supply designers must be aware of specific regulations on safety or the environment that apply to the area, as well as the actual electrical performance. Resistors play an important role in regulating the supply output an...

There are many choices of sensing elements to measure current to a load. The choices of current sensing elements, such as reistors, can be sorted by applications as well as the magnitude of the current measured. Shunt resistors are the most versatile and cost effective means to measure current. A shunt resistor cost ranges from a few pennies to several dollars. A shunt resistors price is differentiated by value, temperature coefficient, power rating and size. Shunt resistors commonly increase in cost for lower temperature coe...

From instrument amplifiers to precision analog circuits to geophones, resistor networks, such as Microhm Electronics LSP series, are used in a variety of applications. Each has its own unique requirements, but none more stringent than the high-reliability applications found in medical and aerospace industries. In ultrasound equipment, for example, circuits require tight resistor tolerances and excellent tracking. Plane flight controllers or calculators demand precision resistors, while also requiring that components meet tigh...
