Server and computer system architecture has increased in tandem with power delivery (PD) requirements in recent decades. This complicates regulator design since it necessitates a compromise between ...

In a power-supply topology for a computer system with a 12-V input and a 1-V, 20-A output, currents are high enough that duplicate power stages can be used to reduce stress and spread the thermal ...

Home machinists can often find great deals on used industrial equipment, and many a South Bend lathe or Bridgeport milling machine has followed someone home. Then comes the moment to plug it in, and ...

Nonisolated DC/DC step-down voltage conversion is almost exclusively based on the ubiquitous buck regulator topology. The multiphase buck regulator has inherent advantages over its single-phase ...

Single Phase Power Solutions (SPPS) has partnered with Yaskawa America to incorporate their VFD and digital single-phase converters within SPPS’ engineered power systems. Availability of these digital ...

Article 695 covers the installation of electric power sources and interconnecting circuits, and switching and control equipment dedicated to fire pump drivers. Article 695 covers the installation of ...

One of the hidden complications of upgrading grain drying and handling systems is providing enough electricity to power the new larger electric motors. Electric motors that are larger than 15 hp ...

Step-down (buck) voltage regulators have long been the preferred DC-DC conversion electronic workhorse thanks to their inherently high efficiency. Only in buck mode the current is directed to the ...

The consequences can be costly, ranging from production downtime to compromised equipment and even safety hazards. Certainly, capacitors are indeed responsible for 30% of power electronics failures, ...

Electronic beamsteering is a fairly old technology and dates back to around 1905, when Karl Braun demonstrated phased-array transmission of radio waves to improve directionality. The same principles ...
