Not all UPS designs are the same. As a result of cost savings in the very competitive UPS market, some designs may not have the highest level of component reliability. Capacitors are an integral part ...

HDW Electronics' SWG series surge generators are designed with switchable, multi-stage surge capacitors and three voltage ranges. This design offers an advantage over single-stage capacitor units by ...

Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) and low dropout (LDO) regulators are found in electronic systems. Critical SMPS requirements include a stable output voltage with load current, good temperature ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

Here's how to reduce the effect of capacitor switching on your power system Last month's article discussed exactly what happens when electric utilities switch shunt capacitors: power system components ...

Our fundamental passive and inherently analog components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—are so conceptually simple and easy to describe that we often don’t fully articulate or appreciate the ...

As gas and steam power generation plants approach the end of their operational life, plant owners face a challenging decision between upgrading or retiring the plant. Retiring a power generation unit ...
