Circuit breakers are used in nearly all electrical systems — from residential dwellings to electric utility facilities. We rely on them to protect our systems from damaging overcurrents and short ...

After the critical circuits, we like to examine the printed-circuit board (PCB) stackup. Like the schematic, board stackup decisions are often made prior to routing and placement, so this is a good ...

Last, but not least, we like to look at the I/O (Input/Output) circuits during EMI circuit board reviews. As a port of entry for external currents, I/O circuits are particularly vulnerable to threats ...

Most every device and electronic piece of equipment is outfitted with a printed circuit board (PCB), including smartphones, TVs, appliances, and more. You know the composite. The boards are laminated ...

What about installing lighting equipment outdoors? You can find these requirements in Sec. 225.7 of the NEC. The first requirement is that the branch circuits must comply with Art. 210, which covers ...

Anyone that is looking to teach the basics of electrical circuits to children may be interested in a new range of projects that are available using Squishy Circuits Kits. Squishy Circuits Kits provide ...
