Since we all have wires running throughout our houses to provide mains power, there’s a number of devices that piggyback on mains lines for communication. For his thesis project, [Haris ...

Selecting power capacitors requires an analysis of dielectric materials. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are polar devices that feature a high volumetric density but cannot withstand reverse voltages ...

Damage from solar flares and CMEs vary. Strong solar flares can affect satellites. Powerful CMEs, however, interact with the ...

Power distribution units (PDUs) range from simple 120v power strips to units that break out 120 volts from 240v and three-phase power. Advanced units are managed remotely via the SNMP management ...

This audio story explores how a Scottish utility can divert birds from power lines through a combination of drones, robots and specially designed visual signals. In the first part of the series, Chad ...

Capacitors are electrical devices that are used to store electrical energy. A typical capacitor consists of two fixed conducting plates (electrodes) which face each other and are separated by a ...

Infineon has introduced 135V power mosfets for equipment powered from 72V and 84V batteries. There are 10 of them in a choice of packages: 7pin D2PAK (TO-263), 3.3 x 3.3mm PQFN, SuperSO8, TO-220, ...

Grid operators aim to optimise the performance and stability of power transmission and distribution (T&D) systems with advanced equipment and services. Players in the power T&D industry require a ...

The Baltimore Sun recently carried an article about the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project (“Maps: See potential paths of Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project power lines,” Sept.

Shoes on power lines aren't something you see every day. But like colorful beads on trees, it seems that wherever you see one ...
