What's a designer to do when challenged with a switching application that requires handling up to 70 kV? These applications are not as rare as one may think. In fact, a broad range of applications in ...

A rugged high-visibility voltage detection tool delivers visual and audible alerts to improve operator safety when ...

This AC power switch circuit senses the presence of AC current in one outlet of a multi-outlet power strip and switches power to the remaining outlet(s). It utilizes a current transformer, single ...

All safety -- especially electrical safety -- is personal to employees. Little else matters to them unless electrically safe work conditions can be created and maintained through their work ...

A function often needed in industrial and scientific applications is detecting the presence (or absence) of dc voltages in such components as safety interlocks and automatic sequencers. To detect the ...

Last month we examined the operation and application of the potential starting relay. This month we will cover voltage specifications of the potential relay. Compressors may have one of three voltage ...

Environmental systems that precipitate dust and carbon particles frequently use high-voltage dc power supplies. However, failure of high-voltage components caused by a change in their properties over ...

A rugged, high-visibility voltage detection tool delivers visual and audible alerts to improve operator safety when working around high-voltage third rail systems. As transit authorities and utilities ...
