The lower voltage reading at the battery indicates that the system is experiencing a higher-than-normal electrical resistance in the charging circuit. This is not the fault of the alternator.

Voltage is a lot like water pressure, and a vehicle’s bulbs, motors, pumps, injectors and other devices that perform work need a proper supply delivered to them.

The Hazards of Voltage Drop Voltage drop across switchgear and feeder and branch circuit conductors can quickly reduce the output voltage of the power supply to an unacceptable limit. Because ...

Reducing the voltage drop, without resorting to jumper cables, means reducing the current flowing where we’re taking measurements, and the solution is to split into force wires and sense wires.

Description of a circuit to tell if the high-voltage supply in an industrial smokestack precipitator is functioning properly.

In the following, the effect of unequal voltage division in such series circuits will be explained in principle. For a better understanding, balancing strategies are discussed for using a series ...

Inevitably, industrial facilities are going to have 460VAC, 3-phase motor loads. And, of course, since voltage drop is considered mainly a performance issue, maximum voltage drop rules on a circuit ...

You can build a simple low-current voltage regulator from a resistor and a Zener diode. This type of regulator is often adequate for noncritical applications such as internal bias voltages. The ...
