Industrial Elelctronics Notes

Solar Cell

It is a device which converts the light energy into electrical energy. When light is allowed to fall on this cell, the cell generates a voltage across its terminals.

SCR DC Motor control

The speed of  DC motor  can be control by using  SCR  in AC circuit  as shown in the below figure.

Programmable Logic Controller - PLC

PLC stands for programmable logic control. It is computer designed to be used in industry. It controls the different process and is programmed

Power transistor

The bipolar power transistor is a three layer NPN or PNP device within the working range, the collector current IC is a function of the base current IB

Passive Transducers

These type of transducers requires an external power supply and therefore output is equal to the variation in a physical parameter such as pressure, temp etc.
