Electrical systems in military vehicles are normally required to meet stringent transient requirements. Typical of these specifications are MIL-STD-1275B in the U.S.A. and DEF-STAN 61-5 (Part 6)/Issue ...

Transients are a nuisance for power system designers that can hamper performance and in the worst case cause damage to equipment. A new book, Power System Transients: Theory and Applications, is ...

Editor’s note: I am pleased to bring you another educational and informative commentary, this time by Eric Hackett, INT TRX Applications Engineer, Texas Instruments. File it away in your book of ...

Transient overvoltages can cripple an electrical system, causing critical component failure and potentially igniting a fire in your facility. There are two categories of transient overvoltages: ...

Surge protection for an electrical panel controls how transient voltages enter and spread through branch circuits inside the ...

The programmable logic controller (PLC) is an important component in most modern automation and process control systems today. It's also susceptible to lightning-induced transients. To verify the ...

Embedded systems developers remind me of a cat in a field full of grasshoppers, faced as they are with innumerable transient electrical problems in their designs. Early on, before the numbers have ...
