While consuming less electricity than their older, less efficient counterparts, high-efficiency motors are much more likely to trip their respective circuit protectors when they start. Initial ...

This month in EC&M's forum for your power quality questions, Mark McGranaghan, vice president of consulting services, teams up with several other experts from EPRI-PEAC to address the topics of ...

Digi-Key, in collaboration with Ametherm, presents a PTM describing transformer protection from inrush current using the NTC thermistor. This will provide a problem statement describing the inrush ...

However much care is taken, it is very difficult to keep all traces of transformer-induced hum out of the signal circuitry. It is highly irritating to find that despite the cunning use of low-noise ...

(Originally I posted this question on Electrical Engineering StackExchange site, but I was told that it is focused on EE design aspects rather than electronic/computer devices use aspects, hence ...

What is a pre-charge circuit and what role does it play? The fundamental elements of a pre-charge circuit. Some basic best practices and where to find more information. A common challenge in systems ...

Obviously, long battery life is a significant design goal for portable devices. Much effort is put into maximizing the efficiencies of the DC-DC converters in these products since that clearly extends ...
