Using the fast dynamic load described in this Design Idea to test the transient response of a power system can reveal many critical operating characteristics. The voltage deviation resulting from a ...

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 ...

Electric utility engineers designing new transmission and distribution (T&D) systems and evaluating existing systems have relied on sophisticated software programs that can simulate transients. Now ...

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 ...

Regardless of the system architecture, the circuit design, or the power levels involved, transient load current step testing is a critical aspect of power-system design, test, and verification.

LoadSlammer is a manufacturer of devices for transient load testing of point-of-load in power management systems. This company is bringing an easy-to use-load-transient test system to market (a small ...

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, ...

In a typical steam power plant, the boiler feedwater (BFW) pump takes suction from the deaerator (DA) and discharges high-pressure water to the boiler through the feedwater heaters. During normal ...
