A few of the important technical blog posts are Neutral wire voltage, Power factor, Open circuit CT transformer, why 30 mA RCCB breaker, Motor type in train engine, AFCI AFDD breaker, and AC DC supply danger to humans.
I will explain in this post the various applications of Zener diode in the electronics and power electronics fields with circuit diagrams.
I will also explain the function of these circuits in this article and also try to give you extra knowledge as per my experience in the use of Zener diode during the designing of my few projects and products.

I will explain the difference between neutral wire and earth in the AC supply in this technical article. A total of 17 differences between neutral and earth are discussed in this article.
The three-phase AC supply consists of 4 wires. R phase, Y phase, B phase wire, and a neutral wire. In addition to that, we have earth wire also. The neutral wire and earth wire of the AC supply have totally different purpose.

In this post, I discuss: why “power factor correction” and its method, the causes and problems of low power factor, and how to correct power factor and its advantages. You will also learn fixed step type and continuous variable PF correction, the need for fast correction (SVC), and the need for an extra inductor.
There are many more advantages of power factor correction discussed in this article.
I will also discuss extra knowledge as per my industry experience of designing such control equipment. The power factor correction is done for many reasons.

In this post, I explain, how to use a CT transformer (current transformer) with an open circuit secondary under certain conditions with a few examples. I will also explain, why high voltage comes in an open circuit, voltage limiting factors, electrical and flux equivalent circuit of the open circuit CT.
