RS-232 and RS-485 are two common serial communication standards, with the following main differences between them: Different transmission methods: RS-232 adopts a single end transmission method, and its data signal is relative to the signal ground, usually used for point-to-point communication; RS-485 adopts differential transmission mode, allowing multiple transceivers to be connected on the bus,...

As modern power systems rely more on nonlinear loads, Total Harmonic Distortion in Current (THDi) has become a critical factor in ensuring power quality and equipment longevity. In this article, we explore what THDi is, its causes, its impacts on equipment, and how to mitigate it using advanced harmonic filtering techniques. 1. What is THDi? THDi stands for Total Harmonic Current Distortion. It is...
