Microprocessors and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) require low-voltage, high-current power supplies. These supplies usually have very strict requirements on output-voltage deviations ...

In the 1990s, experts calculated that without efforts to increase efficiencies and reduce “no-load” power consumption, external power supplies—the ones used to power everything from cell-phones to ...

No electricity provider in the world can guarantee an electrical supply that is free from voltage and frequency variations. The possibility of faults occurring in user installations or in the public ...

Regardless of the system architecture, the circuit design, or the power levels involved, transient load current step testing is a critical aspect of power-system design, test, and verification.

As part of a power electronics design project involving a 3.6-V dc-dc converter, it became necessary to test and accurately characterize the planar transformer shown in Fig. 1. Transformer operating ...

The industry’s insatiable need for power in high-performance computing (HPC) is creating problems for test cells, which need to deliver very high currents at very consistent voltage levels through the ...

Trystar has purchased Load Banks Direct (LBD) of Covington, Kentucky, a manufacturer of high-capacity load banks used for full power load testing of emergency power systems. The acquisition will ...

Maintenance and quality assurance are more important than ever in the aerospace industry. Keeping passengers and crews safe requires regular, meticulous ground testing – especially power quality ...
