Overload devices protect motors, motor control equipment, and motor branch-circuit conductors against excessive heating due to motor overloads and failure to start, but not against overcurrent (e.g., ...

In the “Say It with Me” series, we’ll take a commonly used concept out of electronics and explain it the best we can. If there’s something that’s been bugging you, or a certain term or concept that ...

The output-port SMU is more involved than that of the input port because it has a larger output-voltage range and can dissipate more power. To minimize thermal design, power dissipation is minimized ...

Each motor branch circuit must be protected against short circuit and ground faults by an overcurrent device sized no greater than the percentages listed in Table 430.52. A branch-circuit ...

H-bridge buck-boost ICs are widely used in applications requiring a constant voltage or current source even when the system ...

Electrical contacts in mechanical pushbutton switches often make and break contact several times when the button is first pushed. A debouncing circuit can remove the resulting ripple signal to provide ...

In new research, Alex Green, an assistant professor at ASU’s Biodesign Institute, demonstrates how living cells can be induced to carry out computations in the manner of tiny robots or computers. The ...
