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 ...

Compliance with NEC 110.10 is critical for safety. We all want safe designs, but the engineer responsible for a UPS installation may not always understand how to accommodate the UL listing unique to ...

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 ...

With its wide common-mode sense range of 0 V to within 2 V of the supply voltage applied, the ZXCT1051 current monitor from Zetex enables true short circuit current monitoring. With its wide ...

Researchers at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia have investigated whether the temperature coefficient of the short circuit current in perovskite-silicon ...

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 ...

FLORHAM PARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ASCO Power Technologies, the world’s leading provider of critical power solutions, has expanded the capabilities of its ASCO 4800 Load Bank. Known to provide many ...

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 Design Idea presents a low power short circuit finder that capitalizes on the ear’s sensitivity to changes in frequency. The heart of the circuit is a voltage-to-frequency converter (based on ...
