The global demand for green energy sources is driving strong market growth for solar power systems. Although a great deal of development work is still focused on making PV (photovoltaic) energy ...

The software speeds up electrical design by eliminating time-consuming, manual steps, making work easier and more reliable.

Circuits that carry femtoamperes of current have many subtleties that you wouldn’t normally consider in the design and layout of conventional circuitry. If you overlook these subtleties, the circuit ...

Reviewing a typical protective device trip curve (click here to see Fig. 2), it can be divided into three regions. First is the “instantaneous region,” which is the region intended to interrupt ...

For years, commercial garages have been the source of serious safety hazards, considering their potential for fire and explosion. Service pits, for example, have been the site of workers trapped under ...

At the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, we are preparing undergraduate and graduate students alike for Industry 4.0 — the world's fourth industrial revolution. We offer ...

Westfield High School Physics classes in both Josh Garodnick’s and Rudy Scipione’s classes experienced hands-on electrical circuit design this spring. Students learned to wire four switches and four ...

For reliability, designers must create flex circuits that are neither too thick nor bend too much. • Every flex circuit has a neutral-bend axis. • Smaller circuit thickness reduces the risk of damage ...

Just about every product and machine we come in contact with uses electricity. To keep us safe, almost all of them have built-in safety features, especially those on the factory floor. Technicians, ...

Churning with voltage and resembling an explosion at the wire factory, the breaker panel exudes mystique. But it's just a big switch, filled with other smaller ­switches, which lead to the switches ...
