Overvoltage protection of AC power lines is a common practice, which encompasses a variety of protection circuit solutions. Most designs are cost-driven and tend to use only the bare minimum of ...

Acopian Technical Company has introduced the Low Profile 2 series of switching regulated power supplies designed for use in ...

This is the first of a two-part series on the processes used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. In Part 1, we’ll use a simplified power system to illustrate the ...

Since the earliest versions of indoor LED light bulbs were developed, their designers have faced a variety of technical challenges. These include AC-to-DC power conversion, thermal design/heat-sinking ...

If a motor isn't adequately protected, a short circuit will likely result in premature replacement. Then there's the problem of nuisance tripping upon initial start-up because the magnetic setting of ...

On the DC side, safety has long been standard – but the AC side of modern PV systems is becoming increasingly complex. The individually engineered AC boxes from Q3 ENERGIE take on a central role in AC ...

Now that autos are moving toward high-powered battery voltage, the industry is turning new attention toward making sure the flow can stop on a dime when needed. Power management company Eaton Corp.

Open-loop current sensors have a definite price advantage over closed-loop counterparts. While you can use them in drive applications where torque accuracy isn't demanding — such as pump and fan ...
