The global demand for green energy sources is driving strong market growth for solar power systems. Although a great deal of development work is still focused on making PV (photovoltaic) energy ...

A 240-volt service powers heavy-duty appliances like ovens, air conditioners, water heaters and electric dryers. If something goes wrong in that panel, it may cause those systems to fail, damage the ...

Adding a single outlet can feel like a tiny upgrade, but the moment you touch that receptacle, a major breaker panel rule can kick in. Modern electrical codes treat any extension of a circuit as new ...

Mersen, a specialist in electrical protection and control for electrical power systems, announces the latest in its portfolio ...

I continue to be surprised by how many equipment designers are confused by UL circuit protection standards. In trying to meet conflicting standards, engineers may actually decrease the level of ...

In Part 1, we looked at how to size a branch circuit and walked through a simple example. So if you’re sizing a feeder, why don’t you do it the same way? Except in cases where a feeder is also ...

Benefits of an e-fuse solution. Optimal voltage range for e-fuse applications. Target applications for e-fuse devices. The trend toward higher bus voltages creates the need for a robust circuit ...

LED luminaires require precise power and heat management because LEDs convert most of the electrical energy they receive into heat rather than light. Without adequate thermal management, this heat can ...
