Crowbar circuits have long been the go-to safeguard against overvoltage conditions, prized for their simplicity and ...

The good thing about being a field applications engineer is that you get to work on many different circuits, often all at the same time. While this is interesting, it also presents problems. Jumping ...

A major power outage in April was caused by grid overvoltage, triggering a chain reaction. The Spanish grid lacked sufficient voltage control capacity, contributing to the blackout. Minister Aagesen ...

Many system applications require that capacitors be connected together, in series and/or parallel combinations, to form a "bank" with a specific voltage and capacitance rating. The most critical ...

Learn what types of circuit-protection technologies are required to overcome metal-oxide-varistor limitations in certain harsh environments to increase application reliability and safety. To ensure ...

Researchers from King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok in Thailand have proposed a new methodology to conduct techno-economic assessments of distributed PV systems considering ...

IN their communication under the above heading, Messrs. Le Brocq and Cocks 1 redirect attention to a point that has been too often overlooked: namely, that the effectiveness of a metal as the cathode ...

IN general, the term overvoltage refers to the difference between the potential required to discharge an ion at a particular electrode and the calculated reversible value, in the same electrolyte.
