Scientists discover ultra-weak faults near the 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Haiti that continued to slip for weeks.

Residential electrical branch circuit breakers incorporate electronic and electrical technology in Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters that can turn off power to prevent fires if arcing occurs. This ...

Medium-voltage (MV) generators are not designed to withstand full fault current during a single phase-to-ground fault, which is why they are connected to a system with either low- or high-impedance ...

Albert Einstein once said: “A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.” To mitigate the wildfire challenge, a utility must be both clever and wise. Southern California Edison (SCE) ...

The TIDA-00442 TI design provides a reference solution for detecting ground faults in inverter based drives. Inverter current is measured on both dc-positive and dc-negative buses using shunt ...

Scientists in India have proposed using a multilayer neural network to find line-to-ground, line-to-line, and bypass diode faults in PV module strings. They tested the new approach on a 22.5 kW solar ...

Even during routine operation of an instrumentation amplifier, a fault can develop between the sensor and the amp. This fault could result from misuse, the environment, or low-quality assembly, among ...
