When you determine conductor sizes for low-voltage feeder or branch circuits, do you account for voltage drop? Some people believe this is unnecessary, and some believe that doing so is a Code ...
Electrical equipment that operates below its voltage rating can overheat or power down. Here's how to determine your load's operating voltage. Voltage drop across switchgear and feeder and branch ...
The application of Aerial Spacer Cable Systems (ASCS) in heavily treed areas is very common amongst electric utilities. There are a number of other applications including multiple-circuits, long-spans ...
From Maxim Integrated Application Note 4003: A shunt reference design is somewhat more difficult because you must calculate the external resistor value. That value (R1) must ensure that its voltage ...
One of the most common methods of reducing power lost due to chip leakage is to use a multiple-threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) cell as a switch to turn the power supply (or ground) off for inactive partitions ...
Today in power electronics, the folks over at Texas Instruments have put together a video covering low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators. For a hacker, power is pretty fundamental, so it behooves us ...
