WHEN an electric generator is accidentally short-circuited, huge currents are developed and unless the ‘pcircuit-breakers’ act promptly, serious damage may be done to the generator and there is a risk ...

ABOUT ten years ago it was found necessary to build short-circuit testing stations in order to find out the true rating for a large switch or current-breaker. In order to find out how a switch will ...

This internal short circuit device provides a controlled method of testing to improve the safety of lithium-ion batteries in space gear and electric-drive vehicles. The statistics for shorts occurring ...

The Internal Short Circuit Testing Technology Allows the Company to Predictably Instigate Battery Cell Failure and then Study the Causes Behind Them in Order to Build Safer Batteries SAN DIEGO, Nov.

Before transmission and distribution equipment is ready for commercial deployment, it must first undergo many equipment reliability, performance and safety tests, according to Newton-Evans Research ...

I see techs in the field get the most frustrated when they have a low-voltage short they can’t seem to locate. The challenge techs face with low voltage diagnosis is a combination of poor process and ...

New characterization and testing methods have been developed with respect to the state of the art in power semiconductors. Their knowledge and use is decisive for reliable and efficient simulation and ...

For the PDF version of this article, including diagrams and/or equations, click here. In any off-line flyback converter design, it is possible that the output ...

Wherever circuits need protection against current overloads or short circuits, you’ll find circuit breakers. They range from fingernail-sized devices for semiconductor protection to truck-sized ...

Often, little things make a big difference in a successful design. When it comes to telecommunications equipment, the incorrect specification of a circuit breaker can lead to unnecessary system ...
