An AC resonant test system is designed to generate high alternating voltage by forming a resonant circuit between the reactor and the test object. By operating at or near resonance, the system can ...

Overvoltage protection of AC power lines is a common practice, which encompasses a variety of protection circuit solutions. Most designs are cost-driven and tend to use only the bare minimum of ...

The increasing use of integrated circuits in modern electronic systems has resulted in a growing awareness about lightning overvoltage hazard. The integrated circuits, especially large-scale ...

It's essential to understand how power and energy calculations relate, especially with the increased importance of energy efficiency. Calculations of power and energy are relatively straightforward ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Jerry Twomey, founder of Effective Electrons and CTO of WiPow Group If you’re bringing ac power directly into your new ...

Case study examines a common PV inverter failure that can drive uncommon issues in the field — namely, damage to the AC protection equipment from DC fault currents for short periods during transformer ...

Alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) circuits are capable of carrying very different currents, as illustrated by the ratings on the switch in Figure 1. This is why it’s so important for ...

Churning with voltage and resembling an explosion at the wire factory, the breaker panel exudes mystique. But it's just a big switch, filled with other smaller ­switches, which lead to the switches ...
