This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 8. This circuit builds on a previous idea in which the addition of an optocoupler to a microcontroller output converted a “dumb” ...

There are many circuits for low voltage regulators. For higher voltages, such as supplies for valve circuits, the situation is different. That’s why we decided to design this simple regulator that can ...

Puzzled by choosing circuit protection devices? Follow these guidelines and your electrical system will fall into place. Is it sufficient to select protective devices based entirely on their ability ...

Circuit breakers now sport advanced features that include remote control and operational status reporting. Engineers have long considered circuit protection a stable if somewhat unglamorous area.

Surge protection for an electrical panel controls how transient voltages enter and spread through branch circuits inside the ...
