If a charged particle beam interacts with structures of different electric conductivity in a microelectronic circuit, this leads to local changes in the electric potential at its surface. In a ...

As noted in NFPA 70B, insulated-case and molded-case circuit breakers should be kept clean of external contamination (Comstock/Stockbyte/Thinkstock). Low-voltage ...

I work a lot with high voltages and others frequently replicate my projects, so I often get asked “What voltage is needed?”. That means I need to be able to measure high voltages. Here’s how I do it ...

A circuit powered from an automotive electrical system must survive in a harsh environment. Voltage transients can be either random or repetitive. Repetitive transients, such as a cranking the engine, ...

The recommended maximum total voltage drop on branch-circuit conductors is ____%. Article 210 outlines the requirements for branch circuits. Branch-circuit rating rules are covered in Part II of this ...

APDs (avalanche photodiodes) or APDs, are common components in laser-based fiber-optic systems for converting optical data into electrical form. The bias voltage and current measurement requirements ...

BUDGE ING, Maxim Integrated Products Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif. [email protected] Because digital systems often have only a single-polarity power supply, a common problem becomes translating an ...

Knowing the difference between properly rated fuses for high-voltage circuits can mean the difference between running efficiently and unmitigated disaster. In electronics and electrical engineering, a ...
