It is important for machine design engineers to understand how transformers work so they can design machinery that operates optimally within the proper voltage ranges, as well as select the right ...

The consortium developed a new class of transformers that will smooth out the uneven voltages that plague today's grid and prematurely age electrical hardware ranging from light bulbs to motors to ...

Everyone knows that Thomas Alva Edison invented the lightbulb; but who invented the transformer - perhaps the most important electrical machine ever developed? The ZBD model alternating-current ...

Obtaining real-time operating data on power plant and substation equipment has never been easier. The sensors, transmitters, and systems needed to monitor important parameters are readily available ...

Raychem Circuit Protection, a business unit of Tyco Electronics, has announced the introduction of its PolySwitch(tm) LVR series of resettable circuit protection devices. PolySwitch LVR devices help ...

Across the US, new houses sit unfinished – construction can’t be completed until they are connected to the electricity grid. Utility companies worry about how quickly they can restore power after ...

The PolySwitch LVR resettable circuit protection devices protect electric motors and transformers used in commercial and home appliances from failures caused by mechanical overloads, overheating, ...
