Results for tag: "Voltage Doubler"

A voltage doubler is a type of electrical switch used to double the voltage of an alternating current (AC) source. It is typically used in applications where a higher voltage is needed, such as in power supplies, motor controllers, and other industrial applications. The voltage doubler works by using two capacitors and two diodes to store and release energy from the AC source. The capacitors store energy from the AC source, and the diodes allow the energy to be released in a controlled manner. The result is a higher voltage output than the AC source. The voltage doubler market is a growing segment of the electrical switch industry. It is used in a variety of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial equipment. The market is expected to continue to grow as more applications require higher voltages. Some companies in the voltage doubler market include ABB, Eaton, Siemens, Schneider Electric, and Omron.
