(Note: Part 1 of this article examined the typical lab setup and powering the circuit under test. Click here to read Part 1.) Most dc/dc power-converter circuits have input capacitors and output ...

When you plug in a blender, turn it on, and the power goes off, you've got a circuit overload. Here's how to prevent that ...

Electronic diagnostic module protects against short circuits, reduces downtime. When overloads and short circuits occur, there’s always a tradeoff between the power supply shutting down the entire 24 ...

Circuit protection has proven useful, but meeting the increasingly sophisticated industrial and commercial requirements can be a challenge. An overload or short circuit in a fuse or mini circuit ...

Suitable for use in hazardous and non-hazardous environments, the EC-E circuit breakers selectively protect load circuits connected to a 24-Vdc power supply. The components combine active current ...

Leviton has unveiled its next generation electrical Load Center. The new breaker panel works with an integrated Wi-Fi or Ethernet hub to offer remote circuit control, monitor electrical consumption, ...

Let’s take a closer look at the lighting load requirement. The NEC requirements for branch-circuit load calculations are in Art. 220, Part II. These cover three classifications of loads: Lighting ...

To help power supply development, semiconductor companies offer evaluation boards which show a typical application of a power-management IC. This gives design engineers the opportunity to start their ...
