I'm crazy passionate about electronics, hopefully soon you will be too!
My videos tend to focus on power electronics (the best type of electronics), and my goal is to get as many people as possible excited to learn about this fascinating subject through fun analogies, demonstrations and stories! Don't be afraid to ask questions in the comments, the only thing I love more than answering questions is asking them myself ;)

Do you have any plans on covering multiphase buck converters?
Wow what a fantastic explanation and tutorial, thanks much 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I noticed the overvoltage, too, but didn't consider damaging humans ... Now I will add an artificial load if nothing or not enough is connected at the output. Thanks for pointing out the problem!
Hi, would you be willing to explain what an op amp is and how it is used? I haven't dound any good explanations and your method of explaining is excellent. I like how you solve problems instead of spit formulas.
love the symmetry !!
But if, for example, you can't find appropriate inductor in the nearest shop. You would need to do it by yourself. And this is another rabbit hole 😅.
what makes me wonder...how could it be possible to draw that much power of such tiny PCB...impressive...and yes...an explanation how does a regulated powersupply with pm regulation works and how functioning their safty ciruits and components (allmoust found in older TV Sets for preventing burning the rest of the TV)
I am german Radio- and TV Servicecraft in former times...dont understand all you said, but the most of it...an excellent desciription for what every component is for...very good video...thank you for understanding more about switching powersupplies
Great video super helpful!! 2 questions: I would like to design a 500 volt DC-DC converter. However I wonder what would be an appropriate level of ESR for capacitors and inductors at this high voltage? For inductors, lowest ESR I can find that are 500v rates are 6 to 10 mohm, which seems too high. What do you think would be a suitable ESR threshold for 500v designs? Question 2: I imagine I will also need a CMC filter to attenuate 1 MHz harmonics RF from DC output (this is an RF application), but I can’t seem to find any good resources, guides, or online calculators for designing CMC filters for SMPS. Any suggestions for where I can find info on CMC filter design, especially for 500v supplies?
i need to watch this when im not tired. brains not co-operating.
Please more of this content! Loving every second! Thank you!
I am sorry but it sounds super wired to add a safety notice to this video. I wonder how many random people end up to this video without some basic knowledge of electricity
Which thermal camera did you get? It looks like it has a good frame rate.
It’s a FLIR One Pro, mostly got it for the high resolution and accuracy. It’s a little over 8FPS but probably looks better here cause it’s mostly sped up footage. Still just about fast enough for non-engineering activities if one were so inclined.
That's probably the most interactive course on how all of this works.
Thank you, thank you milion times! Gretings from Romania!
Bro, if you want me to show your vids, stop using auto synch and translate
Not sure what you mean?
@electrarc240 Thanks for responding! In the settings of the YT Studio there's a setting for to auto synchronization of supported languages activated. So the vid is showing titles and speaking in german, which is my native language. Pls deactivate it, so the information doesn't loose its sense. Thank you!
Ah thought so, will do!
Grate content😉👍 It's refreshing to see a youtube video 44min long, and that you are not tempted to squeeze it down, by skipping over things. I suspect most people will watch all of it. Maybe I might consider not manically trying to edit 3 hours of video down to 15min. I always felt I'm leaving important stuff out😢. I hope you will carry on the good work. Thank you for all your hard work. How do you find the spare time for such ambitious projects 🤔?
Thank you! I agree I never see much advantage to skipping important things just to shrink a video down for more clicks, I'd much rather make a single conclusive video on a topic and people are free to skip parts if they want. I think in terms of finding time to make the projects it's a combination of doing very little else in my free time like socialising or sleeping, and also I think I've become quite quick at designing boards and circuits for these demonstrations. Probably helps that I spend more time than I should thinking about videos at work too haha.
That output voltage "hump" between 0.2 - 0.8 duty cycle at low load blew my mind... I'll try simulating in LtSpice to see if i can gain more insight before i start pestering the internet with questions 😂😂
Yeah I'm so glad it came out so nicely in the graph! Feel free to pop any questions here or on my discord server btw
Very impressed with your videos - you were born to teach….keep up the good work.👏👏👏👏
Im not sure where to start, How ABSOLUTELY amazing everything is done! Graphing, Explanation's, and best of all you are using what most people have for a scope so we can follow along at home. I feel bad now asking when this would drop. Doing this on top of a full time job and LIFE is crazy! Thank you for all your hard work and let us know where to donate to your bad habits because after this you need some rest lol
Life? What's that? Haha thank you very much for the kind words though and no worries for asking when it would be ready, I was hoping to have this out two weeks earlier but I massively underestimated the work this one would take. You can donate on PayPal if you really feel inclined, but honestly I'd rather you put the money towards a project! I will probably make a Patreon once I'm back at uni in about 6 months if you'd rather wait for that. As for the scope I'm glad you appreciate that because I have been offered better scopes but I am trying to keep everything I show as accessible as possible, same with the JLC sponsorship I've used them for years and am happy to recommend them, whereas I'd feel uncomfortable if I were sponsored by a company that offer products out of reach of the average viewer.
@@electrarc240 Sounds good to me, If I saved my money for a project id just end up with yet another project. I wear many many hats, none fit all that great but its a hat! Im recovering from 2 back surgeries back to back no pun intended. I now have Titanium and rubber in my low back and my steps per day are very limited even 1.5 years later, also still not back to work (industrial maintenance) probably never will in that field of work again. So now im 34 and trying to find a new career that keeps my brain busy and my butt planted and its very hard. I downloaded kicad and started watching your videos on design. Im doing lots of diy smart home stuff and making my own breakout boards for esp32 is on my list of things to try. I wish I had half your brain when it comes to this stuff. Ill wait on the patreon since ive never gone that route before, and it give me time to save up a little. So much detail and explanation deserves something time isnt free!
This amazing!!!
they always say windings draw high current when rotor doesn't spin because back emf is not cutting lines of magnetic field! but why does it have to spin to do that i never really got it
When it spins it acts as a generator so the current is less because the voltage across the windings is the supply voltage minus the "generator voltage". Meaning if the supply voltage stays the same, the faster the rotor spins the higher the voltage that's generated and the less voltage is left across the windings. Hope that helps
In case someone noticed the CC has some mistakes at reading this young gentleman, I dared to copy the TRANSCRIPT and sorted it out as it was improved (and it serves those who belong to a foreign language) (drive.google.com/file/d/1f1Vet3dDHmNdOTwyCIKTNhmn6xO45kC_/view?usp=sharing)
Thanks for this, I must speak a little too fast for it!
@@electrarc240 It was an honor! I´d said your intonation and pitch is easy for me, but slowing down a bit, perhaps, will make your videos longer. Yet it will mess your current mood. If I compare it to others, it seems you have trained your voice well, and that machine should "learn" to hear, *" a little too fast"* .
This is beyond outstanding. I've been a programmer, Metrologist, Control System Engineer, and Turbofan Test Engineer working on troubleshooting, repairing, designing, and building circuits, but have never seen something this detailed and educational in all of my 46 years. There really needs to be an award for this kind of effort and educational information!
I couldn’t agree more. 👌
I totally agree, fantastic video :)
Wow thank you so much, I'm glad the effort shows as this one took a lot of time!
@@electrarc240 I'm sure it did! I couldn't imagine the effort required to make this video. Like I explained in my original comment, I've had a lifetime of exceptional experience, but you somehow brought all of it together and exposed it in a way that's just perfect! @Conservator and @solidiv also agree. You deserve some kind of award for having such an outstanding presentation! Tell your wife and kids that you are the man, because you are!
after you screwed up my head, showing a gate on the relay, I could not watch the video! Relays do not have ANYTHING like a gate!!!!!!!!
God bless you!
Amazing video! The explanations were clear, and I love that you showed voltage and current waveforms for each part of the circuit, as it makes it very clear what's going on and makes the whole explanation very intuitive. Love your content, keep it up!! I hope some day you make a similar video on flyback DC-DC converters, I've been trying to design an adjustable 0-24V @ 1A flyback transformer as a pre-regulator for a linear power supply and never figured out how to properly design them to work on a wide range of voltages (as opposed to a fixed output voltage)
Thanks! I will certainly try to cover flyback converter's at some point, though there are a few pre-requisites I want to make videos on first
God bless you.
Just in time for Christmas 🎁. Thanks for another brilliant video!
This right here is pure Gold.
Very nice video thank you for sharing
Not missing a single video of yours🎉
great video
In today's era of ready-to-use modules, studying circuits component by component has become a rare practice for most people.
This channel breaks down boring power supply circuits taught in class using a hardware puzzle approach. Power electronics might feel dull in class, but this is a fresh, exciting way to learn!
Exactly! It was mostly taught in a very boring/confusing way at uni and I couldn’t understand why they were teaching it that way, cause it’s really cool stuff!
Keep going Bro 💪
Which channel is so underrated, this man can explain anything in terms of simple language love your video sir ❤
Am a 2nd year electronics engr student, this was our first technical project and am currently designing and building one. Your video helped a lot, thankyou very much!
Glad to hear, good luck with studies!
This video, and the channel it seems, are amazing. The presentation is perfectly clear and insightful, and the style and humor are on-point to not make it sound like a boring lecture. I have gone through a few videos so far, and this is a great find for people going into DIY. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much
Here's a video idea for you: Go through the process of designing a power supply for DIY Eurorack modular synth projects. The standard calls for -12V/0V/+12V outputs, so it's one of the few places where you want the negative voltage that a buck-boost converter can give you.
43:26 This video has been very helpful! I'll stick with linear regulators! Mostly because I tend to mess with very low power circuits.
Yeah they’re definitely better unless you need significant power
Hi, please tell us how to replace diode by mosfet properly. Thanks in advance!
Love your videos. Would love to see how to build and fire out a bidirectional half bridge. This videos finally showed me how it might work but I’m still struggling understanding the bidirectional flow and how you’d manage it so that the flow goes where you want. (Ie 40v to 4v and visa versa for battery charging and discharging with say a solar panel and a load on the 40v side.
Yeah that is confusing to wrap your head around. I guess if you had ideal 4 and 40V sources and an ideal converter then 10% duty would get no current flow and you’d make it flow either way by slightly reducing or increasing it. Of course nothings ideal so we’d have to sense the current and vary the duty cycle based on that. I’ll try and cover it at some point
🤔How far is this chann. from excellency? Not too far!🎯
Bro is really out here producing the best and most comprehensive, yet engaging and well thought out electrical engineering videos on TH-cam. We all thank you for your service good sir 🙏🙏🙏
Love these! Very informative.
I just finished a course in power electronics at Georgia Tech and it was purely theoretical and lecture based. Watching through your videos helped fill in some of the hand on lab experience. Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work 👍
What class code?
@ ECE 4330. I loved the class, like it put together so many fundamental principles directly applicable to my work. We didn’t build anything, but did have a project with sourcing components and simulation Videos like these bridge that gap into application. I bet Electrarc was a TA at some point the way he explains things by systematically breaking down and simplifying them
