Transients are a nuisance for power system designers that can hamper performance and in the worst case cause damage to equipment. A new book, Power System Transients: Theory and Applications, is ...

A variety of mix-and-match modules allows designers to adapt to multiple energy sources and load requirements for power subsystem targeting pulsed-RF applications that demand high transient response ...

Silicon power-saving techniques are helping to reduce the power required by data centers and other high-intensity computing environments, but they’ve also added a significant challenge for design ...

This article explains the switching behavior of power MOSFETs in practical application circuits and shows the reader/designer how to choose the right device for the application using the ...

Most facilities are aware of the electrical disturbances that occur on the electric utility side of the meter, as they are the recipients of these events. Voltage transients are caused by electric ...

Solid State Relay (SSR) is a solid-state replacement of electro-mechanical relay, and is commonly used for general purpose switching of signals and low power AC/DC loads. It consists of a ...

If Henry Ford walked into most any factory today, his jaw would likely hit the ground. The modern factory floor looks little like the assembly line of Ford's day. Massive humming machines, robotic ...

Engineering gas and steam piping systems within power generation facilities is a tough job. Balancing cost, effectiveness, and safety while anticipating changes to design requirements takes a lot of ...

How optical isolation works. Source: B&B Electronics. Some of you may know that I moonlight as the guitar player in a hard-edged blues/rock band. Playing at the various clubs around town, I run into ...

AMES, Iowa – Self-destructing electronic devices could keep military secrets out of enemy hands. Or they could save patients the pain of removing a medical device. Or, they could allow environmental ...
