AI Thread Summary

For a switched reluctance motor, suitable switching devices include MOSFETs, transistors, and relays. A vacuum tube is mentioned as a potential option, but its practicality and efficiency in this application are questioned. The discussion emphasizes the need to identify a fourth switching device that meets the motor's requirements. Participants are encouraged to explore alternatives that align with modern technology and performance standards. Ultimately, the focus remains on finding the most effective switching device for optimal motor operation.

I have to choose four switching devices for a switched reluctance motor.

I have chosen a MOSFET, transistor and relay, what other device can be used?

How about a vacuum tube?

Are you sure you are understanding the requirements of your task correctly?

What is wrong with a vacuum tube?

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Two capacitors, etc.'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
