Overvoltage protection of AC power lines is a common practice, which encompasses a variety of protection circuit solutions. Most designs are cost-driven and tend to use only the bare minimum of ...

For reliability, designers must create flex circuits that are neither too thick nor bend too much. • Every flex circuit has a neutral-bend axis. • Smaller circuit thickness reduces the risk of damage ...

The future of circuit design, encompassing analog, RF/5G, and custom electronic circuits, is set to be revolutionized by the integration of generative AI tools. These advanced tools will not only ...

As the Belgian transmission system operator, Elia has been a pioneer in Europe for its use of high-temperature low-sag (HTLS) composite core overhead line conductors. Additionally, the utility has ...

The circuit was designed to create a line preamplifier by acquiring the use of double triode tubes. The circuit comprises of three parts, the main preamplifier circuit with tubes, the input selector ...

Land acquisition problems coupled with the high cost of developing new rights-of-way led the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) to the decision to upgrade an existing 230-kV ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...

The 555 timer is one of the most versatile integrated circuits available. It can generate PWM signals, tones, and single-shot pulses. You can even put one in a bi-stable mode similar to a flip flop.
