Short-circuit currents represent a tremendous amount of destructive energy, which can be released through electrical systems under fault conditions. Baseline short-circuit studies should be performed ...

Short circuit current ratings should not be overlooked during panel design. Negative impacts can occur to production, equipment and, worst case, plant personnel. Per 2014 NEC Article 100, short ...

What's the difference between a short-circuit current rating (SCCR) and an interrupting rating (IR)? If you're not sure, clearing up the confusion could be as simple as brushing up on your definitions ...

The sample tester in Figure.1 Detects short circuits on assembled pc boards and also rings out cables and harnesses. The sample tester in Figure.1 Detects short circuits on assembled pc boards and ...

Brace yourself for an electrifying journey filled with unusual experiences and daring inventions! On this channel, we explore the limits of electricity, turning bold ideas into reality. You'll witness ...

Delays in short-circuit protection triggers require careful selection of the magnetics and overcurrent threshold values to prevent component stress. In any off-line flyback converter design, it is ...

A Canadian consortium led by the Sherbrooke University has developed a CPV panel with improved light absorption through a microstructured anti-reflecting coating consisting of a monolayer of silica ...

The Joint Research Centre (JRC), which is the European Commission's science and knowledge service, has announced that an unprecedented agreement has been found in measuring the temperature dependence ...

In an earlier article, I covered Fire Hazard Tests that form an important part of safety testing for electronic/electrical products. We looked at the standards and equipment used for abnormal heat, ...

This circuit is suitable in every situation where over-current protection is required. Here we give an example from the model train world. Every seasoned model train enthusiast knows that there is ...

Trench-based silicon carbide power MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors) represent a dramatic improvement in the Figure of Merit (FOM) values of power conversion switching ...
