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 ...

The programmable logic controller (PLC) is an important component in most modern automation and process control systems today. It's also susceptible to lightning-induced transients. To verify the ...

Transient power is becoming much more problematic at 10/7nm, adding yet another level of complexity for design teams already wrestling with power issues caused by leakage, a variety of power ...

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 ...

Depending on the series, the TVS diodes are specified for an operating temperature range from –55C to +150C, making them suitable for harsh environmental conditions. For automotive applications, ...

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 ...

Chroma Systems Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of power conversion test equipment, announces the release of its new auto-ranging 62000L series programmable benchtop DC power supplies. New dc ...

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 ...

An undervoltage or voltage sag is a disturbance that commonly occurs during electrical faults or when equipment is turning on. They are produced when large currents are being drawn on the system. On ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a working battery that self-destructs in water. It's part of a field of study called 'transient electronics.' The battery project presented many challenges, including a ...
