Testing a circuit breaker is about judging reliability under fault conditions, not just checking continuity or voltage. A ...

This last part of the discussion on AC characteristics measurement methods describes the short circuit and overload current characteristics, remote on/off control, and isolation voltages. It also ...

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 ...

A little short circuit can lead to big trouble. In 1996, a spark caused by faulty wiring insulation exploded fumes inside TWA Flight 800's fuel tank, leading to a horrific explosion and crash that ...

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 ...

DURING the last ten years, owing to the increase in the size of electrical power generating stations and of the machines they employ, together with the greatly increased voltages used for distribution ...
