DC-DC converters are pivotal components in power electronics, underpinning applications ranging from aerospace systems to renewable energy installations. As these converters frequently operate in ...

A power system functions normally until after the occurrence of a fault in the system. The good news is fault events can be minimized or avoided through diligent electrical design, accurate record ...

The digital voltmeter is the best basic tool for electrical troubleshooting, because it's calibrated and exact. But remember, the digital voltmeter can't detect a high-resistance fault if the circuit ...

Thermocouples and their leads often have to detect open-circuit or short-circuit faults. However, it is very difficult to distinguish a valid millivolt temperature signal from an open/short-circuited ...

A typical low-voltage variable-frequency drive. Industrial facilities commonly use variable-frequency drives (VFDs) to control the speed at which alternating current motors operate. Let’s examine a ...

Circuit breakers are manual switches that open under overload conditions. Circuit breakers are manual switches that open under overload conditions. Circuit breakers discussed here are general-purpose ...
