Short-circuit currents represent a tremendous amount of destructive energy, which can be released through electrical systems under fault conditions. Baseline short-circuit studies should be performed ...

Short circuit current ratings should not be overlooked during panel design. Negative impacts can occur to production, equipment and, worst case, plant personnel. Per 2014 NEC Article 100, short ...

Compliance with NEC 110.10 is critical for safety. We all want safe designs, but the engineer responsible for a UPS installation may not always understand how to accommodate the UL listing unique to ...

With its wide common-mode sense range of 0 V to within 2 V of the supply voltage applied, the ZXCT1051 current monitor from Zetex enables true short circuit current monitoring. With its wide ...

SiC MOSFETs are usually susceptible to damage as a result of short-circuiting events because of the fast switching speeds and low on-state resistance. 3 A team of researchers affiliated with the ...

The Joint Research Centre (JRC), which is the European Commission's science and knowledge service, has announced that an unprecedented agreement has been found in measuring the temperature dependence ...

A Canadian consortium led by the Sherbrooke University has developed a CPV panel with improved light absorption through a microstructured anti-reflecting coating consisting of a monolayer of silica ...

This circuit is suitable in every situation where over-current protection is required. Here we give an example from the model train world. Every seasoned model train enthusiast knows that there is ...

Trench-based silicon carbide power MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors) represent a dramatic improvement in the Figure of Merit (FOM) values of power conversion switching ...

Simple construction allows an open-loop Hall effect sensor to beat its closed-loop counterparts in terms of price, weight, and size; yet it may be susceptible to temperature variation and saturation.
