The transformation of the power landscape involves more than just generation. The distribution of electricity is being changed as well, with technology designed to make electrical systems safer, more ...

If you’ve ever tried to make a really low-power circuit — especially one that runs on harvested power — you have probably fallen into at least a few of the many traps that await the unwary in this ...

Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

Racking in or out a power circuit breaker is simple, right? Although this task sounds pretty straightforward in theory, that’s not always the case. In fact, during years of field work related to ...

Low-power circuit design has evolved into a critical research domain that addresses the dual challenges of energy efficiency and variation resilience. This field focuses on creating systems that ...

System engineers are pressured to cut costs and improve the reliability of circuit boards. An often overlooked opportunity to do this is to reduce the number of components used for FPGA, ...

Management and maintenance personnel at power generating facilities face the same challenges operating their plant’s electrical distribution system as other large industrial plants-shrinking resources ...

This week the world’s first and only digital circuit breaker was certified for commercial use. The technology, invented by Atom Power, has been listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), the global ...

After recovering from years of economic turmoil, the market for power electronics that switch, convert, and manage electric current relapsed in 2015, according to new estimates from two research firms ...
