The increasing use of integrated circuits in modern electronic systems has resulted in a growing awareness about lightning overvoltage hazard. The integrated circuits, especially large-scale ...

In the world of electronics, power is an essential concept to understand. Power refers to the transfer of energy over time, and it is crucial in determining how efficiently a circuit operates. In this ...

Editor's Note: Here's another take on the transformerless AC line power supply, which finds use in some well-insulated, low-power devices. Our technical reviewer pointed out that C ac should be an ...

Abstract: Power regulation in hybrid ac/dc microgrids (MGs) is a critical concern, both in static and transient states. Static power regulation involves optimizing the dispatch of distributed energy ...

Abstract: Definite-purpose switching devices for use in metal-enclosed low-voltage power circuit breaker switchgear are covered in this standard. The switching devices are fused, drawout type, ...

Alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) circuits are capable of carrying very different currents, as illustrated by the ratings on the switch in Figure 1. This is why it’s so important for ...

This air-conditioner (AC) power saver circuit can control the operation of two separate AC units, reducing energy consumption during preset periods and cutting overall load and electricity bills.
