What's a designer to do when challenged with a switching application that requires handling up to 70 kV? These applications are not as rare as one may think. In fact, a broad range of applications in ...

When designing equipment with switching functions, most engineers find that switching high currents and high voltages is a major problem. A solid-state solution may be possible, but it’s complex and ...

Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal ...

The simulator allows learners to navigate within a 3D-simulated substation environment. High-voltage switching can be dangerous for operators because switching is not a common occurrence, making it ...

Nowadays, the majority of systems have a microcontroller that executes an application program to implement functionality. This controller is also frequently used to provide safety-relevant ...

As electronics engineer I have a mental collection of circuits that I’ve gathered over the years, much like a mechanic collects specialized tools as they work. All engineers do this and the tools in ...
