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 ...

Testing circuit card assemblies (CCAs) requires a delicate balance between performing exhaustive fault detection and reining in total assembly cost. With shrinking card real estate accompanied by ...

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 ...

The age profile of low-voltage cable within the Northern Ireland Electricity network ranges from the late 1930s to present day, and the cable type consists of a mixture of paper-insulated ...

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 ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...
