This video explains the role of resistors in electronic circuits and how Ohm’s Law defines the relationship between voltage, ...

We use batteries to supply power in several projects. The chemicals contained in the battery are converted into an electrical current, which in turn makes the battery contain the potential energy.

Open circuit voltage is the potential difference measured across the terminals of a device when no external load is applied. Common in batteries, solar cells, and electrical circuits, it helps ...

This is the first of a two-part series on the processes used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. In Part 1, we’ll use a simplified power system to illustrate the ...

What's a designer to do when challenged with a switching application that requires handling up to 70 kV? These applications are not as rare as one may think. In fact, a broad range of applications in ...

We were recently tipped off to quite a resource — on the Texas Instruments website, there’s a page where you can view and ...

A Vacuum Circuit Breaker interrupts electrical current by extinguishing arcs in a sealed vacuum chamber, providing high-voltage switching, minimal maintenance, enhanced safety, and reliable ...

Download this article in PDF format. It’s now common to see circuit boards that carry hundreds of amps, especially in intensive data-processing applications, electric vehicles, and ac distribution.

Voltage-clamping components are indispensable for both SSCBs and HCBs to protect the solid-state switch from overvoltage damage and absorb the remnant energy in the system loop inductances.

Abstract: In the paper are presented new data on (1) arc-voltage drop and current-limiting effects for arc faults in bar-conductor structures, (2) current-limiting effect of insulated-cable arc faults ...
