Normally, for standard 220V AC household projects, a single 600V or 800V TRIAC is more than enough. But what if you are working with a very high voltage line, like 1000V AC? A single common TRIAC will immediately burn and short circuit because it cannot handle that much voltage stress. To solve this, we can […]

How to Connect Resistors in Series and Parallel
There are three ways to interconnect resistors: series, parallel and in combination of series/parallel. When resistors are joined in series, the current passing via one resistor also passes through the next. When resistors are joined in parallel, they are wired across each other, resulting in the same voltage across each resistor. When resistors are connected […]
How to Calculate Capacitors in Series and Parallel
Capacitors connected in series or parallel are very common in electronic circuits. This is done in order to achieve the desired capacitance value and also to make the performance of the circuit accurate. In the following post I have explained how to connect capacitors in series and parallel: Connecting Capacitors in Series When we connect […]
Standard Resistor E-series Values
The resistor’s values which are provided to them fall within a category of standard or preferred resistor values. By: S. Prakash The values present within the standard resistor category are in sequence which is logarithmic and are in correspondence to the accuracy of the component. This enables the values present within the standard resistor category […]
