Inrush currents associated with motor starting and transformer energizing can cause interaction problems with other loads in a facility or on the power system. These inrush currents can cause sags ...

Offline power supplies that drive loads of 200W and more require inrush-current limiters. Unrestricted inrush currents can reach hundreds of amperes, which may damage the line rectifier, open the fuse ...

This month in EC&M's forum for your power quality questions, Mark McGranaghan, vice president of consulting services, teams up with several other experts from EPRI-PEAC to address the topics of ...

R&D engineers have traditionally found it a challenge to measure dc inrush current and current during dc voltage transients because these measurements require complex setups with multiple pieces of ...

Obviously, long battery life is a significant design goal for portable devices. Much effort is put into maximizing the efficiencies of the DC-DC converters in these products since that clearly extends ...
