The good thing about being a field applications engineer is that you get to work on many different circuits, often all at the same time. While this is interesting, it also presents problems. Jumping ...

A major power outage in April was caused by grid overvoltage, triggering a chain reaction. The Spanish grid lacked sufficient voltage control capacity, contributing to the blackout. Minister Aagesen ...

Many system applications require that capacitors be connected together, in series and/or parallel combinations, to form a "bank" with a specific voltage and capacitance rating. The most critical ...

In test-and-measurement applications, you must provide overvoltage protection for the output terminals of amplifiers, power supplies, and similar components. The conventional way to accomplish this ...

Learn what types of circuit-protection technologies are required to overcome metal-oxide-varistor limitations in certain harsh environments to increase application reliability and safety. To ensure ...

Researchers from King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok in Thailand have proposed a new methodology to conduct techno-economic assessments of distributed PV systems considering ...

CONSIDERABLE confusion has been caused in the past by neglect of the influence of the hydrogen overvoltage on the corrosion current between metallic couples in electrolytes.

IN general, the term overvoltage refers to the difference between the potential required to discharge an ion at a particular electrode and the calculated reversible value, in the same electrolyte.
