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 ...

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 ...

Power quality issues involve all aspects of power system operation, from steady-state voltage regulation to the control of high-frequency transients caused by lightning or switching operations.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
