Large ground-mounted PV plants face significant lightning-induced transient voltages that can increase step-voltage hazards, ...

Transient voltage events in offshore wind power systems arise primarily from switching operations, cable energisation and de-energisation, and fault clearance. These events manifest as rapid ...

Protecting susceptible electronic equipment from AC power line disturbances is a major concern for most people, whether their business environment is commercial or industrial. No matter what the ...

A circuit powered from an automotive electrical system must survive in a harsh environment. Voltage transients can be either random or repetitive. Repetitive transients, such as a cranking the engine, ...

We've all heard the term “transient” used in discussions of possible power quality problems, yet we still seem to have a lack of understanding of what a transient truly is. There is no precise ...

As semiconductor manufacturers introduce new wireline transmission devices built on smaller CMOS geometries, more circuit protection challenges are emerging. This article explores five frequently ...

Transient voltage phenomena in gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) systems encompass a range of rapid overvoltage events generated primarily by the operation of disconnectors and circuit breakers within ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Processor-based systems place strenuous voltage regulation requirements on their power supply. In many instances, this ...

Various electric and electromagnetic disturbances generated inside and outside a car can be hazardous to vehicle electronic equipment. They can degrade performance, cause malfunctions, and even ...

Transient power is becoming much more problematic at 10/7nm, adding yet another level of complexity for design teams already wrestling with power issues caused by leakage, a variety of power ...

Rutronik has announced a range of transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes from YAGEO for circuit protection. They cover standoff voltages from 5V to 600V and surge power ratings from 400W up to ...
