A cross-disciplinary team led by Prof. Qu Jianan from the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering and Prof. Julie L ...

Any time you are working with burglar alarm, access control, sound, nurse call, or intercom systems, as well as computer networks, lighting dimmer controls, and low-voltage industrial controls, you ...

Fig. 1: The silicon-controlled rectifier One major aspect of development in broadcast transmitter technology and power electronics is in the area of power control. On the traditional transformer, we ...

A power control device that protects against MOSFET burnout was designed using a well-known gated-oscillator circuit. The circuit prevents excessive On time for the MOSFETs beyond a permitted limit.

A monolithic GaN mains power converter IC was the target of Leibniz University Hannover, which worked with Texas Instruments. And the result is a 15W off-line PSU that can feed a 30-60V LED string ...

Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire ...

The transformation of the power landscape involves more than just generation. The distribution of electricity is being changed as well, with technology designed to make electrical systems safer, more ...

ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has launched Emax 2, the first low-voltage circuit breaker with integrated energy management functions that monitor power usage and control ...

Selecting the right solution to optimize the distribution of power to the connected loads is imperative for maximum system uptime. Switches, breakers, remote signals across Ethernet and automated ...

In vehicle electrical systems, a high- to low-voltage DC/DC converter is a reversible electronic device that changes the DC from the vehicle’s high-voltage (400 V or 800 V) battery to a lower DC ...
