Lithium-metal batteries are among the most promising technologies for energy storage. They offer significantly more energy in ...

What's the difference between a short-circuit current rating (SCCR) and an interrupting rating (IR)? If you're not sure, clearing up the confusion could be as simple as brushing up on your definitions ...

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 ...

Current regulators (non-switchable and switchable) are a new family of useful and versatile devices targeted for use in communications, networking and power conversion circuits. Current regulators (or ...

Power semiconductor chip design involves a tradeoff between switching speed, static losses, safe operating area, and short-circuit withstanding capability. Historically, IGBT performance improvements ...

Note: This article is based on the 2011 NEC. Article 430 provides the requirements for electric motors while Art. 440 offers amended and additional requirements for hermetic motors, such as those used ...

Almost every meter you find today will have a continuity tester. Connect the probes and it will beep if there is a short and won’t if there isn’t. But where is the short? That’s another problem when ...
