Using voltage data down to the consumer level is essential for grid optimisation and operational flexibility in the new era of intermittent generation and fast-changing user demand. Power grids were ...

The distribution system, a key subset of the overall electric grid, provides power to residential, commercial and industrial customers. Voltage and reactive power management and control have been done ...

Designed to protect low-voltage systems up to 28 V, the MAX4959 and MAX4960 over-voltage protection (OVP) controllers include battery-switchover capability. The devices provide resistor-programmable ...

Electric motors that are either poorly maintained or which lack the proper electrical protection are the second greatest cause of electrical fires. So says the Factory Mutual Research Corp., a ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. In a standard dc-dc converter, a resistor divider typically defines a fixed output voltage. However, applications like programmable ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

Read part 1 of this series on construction and operating principles here. Having understood the construction and basic operating principle of BLDC motor in the first part of this article, it becomes ...
