A DC-DC converter is an electronic control unit (ECU) that converts a source voltage from one level to another. To ensure the DC-DC ECU operates seamlessly, manufacturers first have to put the ECU ...

While using a digital multimeter to diagnose electrical problems on customers’ equipment, I frequently hear the comment, “I’ve got one of those multimeter things, but I never learned how to use it.” ...

Let's start with DC voltage, one of the simplest and most-used multimeter measurements. The DC voltage measurement is used to determine the difference in electrical potential between two points in a ...

How does regeneration work? The positives and negatives of ac regeneration. The benefits of dc regeneration. In October 2021, I presented an article called “Reap the Benefits of Regeneration when ...

In recent years, the demand for low power devices has increased due to issues related to global environmental protection. As a result, the demand for high-voltage power devices has also increased. To ...

Proper calibration of test instruments is crucial for meeting the stringent performance requirements of many equipment types. Calibration results must frequently meet national and international ...

R&S has launched the NGT3600 series of DC power supplies, delivering up to 3.6 kW for a wide range of test and measurement applications. This versatile line provides clean, stable power with low ...

As envisioned by First Solar at their Analyst Day in 2016, the MVDC plant architecture replaces DC combiner boxes with DC-DC converters that boost string voltages from 1500V DC to the range of 5kV DC ...

Voltage requirements are increasing, especially for the EV market. Even devices that might be considered relatively low voltage, such as display drivers, are now pushing past established baselines.

Most of the electrical power distribution infrastructure is static, and in many facilities, the mindset for electrical equipment and devices is “set it, and forget it.” However, much of the existing ...

For over a decade, thousands of users have deployed Permanent Electrical Safety Devices (PESDs) in order to reduce their risks in isolating electrical energy. This innovation greatly reduces the ...
