A team of scientists at Georgia Southern University has combined both spatial and temporal attention mechanisms to develop a new approach for PV inverter fault detection. Training the new method on a ...

DC-DC converters are pivotal components in power electronics, underpinning applications ranging from aerospace systems to renewable energy installations. As these converters frequently operate in ...

Determining the cause of a problem. Also known as "fault diagnosis," the term may refer to hardware or software, but always deals with methods that can isolate the ...

The National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) have become more stringent with each passing Code cycle, stirring up much discussion and debate among ...

In order to continuously improve the transparency of power distribution grids, it is important to have precise knowledge about the relevant conditions in the local grid. This is achieved by utilizing ...

In this Idea for Design: the Soft-start capacitor's discharge can be used as a trigger for a latch circuit in order to provide latch-off fault response in switching supplies Most switching ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...
