Almost every meter you find today will have a continuity tester. Connect the probes and it will beep if there is a short and won’t if there isn’t. But where is the short? That’s a… ...

In addition to expanding renewable energy generation, a successful energy transition requires stable system operation at all ...

If the short-circuit withstand-time is to be specified in the datasheet, it is mandatory to implement measures to ensure that the production parts cohere to this performance. Here at Infineon, we do ...

In the test, short-circuit current was generated in one secondary winding while the other was open. This transformer, designed by Royal SMIT (Netherlands), passed the short-circuit test because the ...

Short circuits are relatively common, but they can be dangerous and a warning sign of a possible electrical hazard, so it's important to know what short circuits are and how to prevent them in ...

Delays in short-circuit protection triggers require careful selection of the magnetics and overcurrent threshold values to prevent component stress.

A little short circuit can lead to big trouble. In 1996, a spark caused by faulty wiring insulation exploded fumes inside TWA Flight 800's fuel tank, leading to a horrific explosion ...
