Intelligent Power Switches (IPSs) are useful for connecting sensitive electronics, such as microprocessors and console controls, with high-current loads. In addition to power MOSFET and protection ...

The other day, I was casually scrolling through Google when I stumbled upon a flood of dirt-cheap RC snubber circuit modules on various online stores. That got me thinking—it’s high time we talk about ...

For years, transients generated on the utility grid have plagued industrial and commercial facilities with a high concentration of variable-speed drives (VSDs) and other sensitive loads. The common ...

Industrial automation relies on programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that have been hardened against the harsh environments where they are installed. Much of the protection is mechanical to guard ...

The rate of transient occurrences varies with every power system. Recent studies show that surges of 1kV or less are common — whereas 3kV surges are rare. Protecting against more frequent (internally ...
