IN recent years it has become a well-known experimentally observed fact 1–5 that the breakdown voltages of certain non-uniform field gaps are strongly dependent on the shape of the applied voltage ...

Why get up close and personal with a resistor when you can tweak it from a distance? Remote variable resistors make analog circuit control easier, neater, and a lot more fun. Well, we are about to ...

This application note discusses the factors that affect dynamic voltage sharing of series connected diodes and explains why co-packaged devices typically see little difference in the instantaneous ...

Undervoltage is defined as a condition where the applied voltage drops to 90% of rated voltage, or less, for at least 1 minute. Low-voltage conditions occur when a facility asks for more power than ...

With any switchboard or switchgear lineup, you can order ammeters, voltmeters, frequency meters, etc. These meters come with factory-installed instrument transformers, which are needed to convert the ...

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

Double-ended topologies, such as push-pull, half-bridge and full-bridge, allow higher efficiencies and greater power densities compared with common single-ended topologies, such as flyback and forward ...

Providing utility professionals with critical information related to the planning, design, construction, operations, maintenance and safety of transmission and distribution facilities, including ...

What Is A Semiconductor Gate? The gate electrode is a thin film of a conductive material deposited on top of an insulator layer in a transistor. The gate sits above a channel formed in the main body ...
