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 ...

Power systems today operate in an environment where reliability and safety must be maintained despite rising loads, expanding ...

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 ...

Created to protect personnel from electric shock, GFCI-type operations now help protect equipment as well. • Ground-fault sensing now protects equipment as well as personnel. • The magnitude of ...

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) ...

A. Battery circuits exceeding 100V between the conductors or to ground are permitted to operate with ungrounded conductors, provided a ground-fault detector and indicator is installed to monitor for ...

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 ...
