Testing circuit card assemblies (CCAs) requires a delicate balance between performing exhaustive fault detection and reining in total assembly cost. With shrinking card real estate accompanied by ...

A power system functions normally until after the occurrence of a fault in the system. The good news is fault events can be minimized or avoided through diligent electrical design, accurate record ...

Electrical engineers have manually identified circuit faults using multimeter testing and visual inspections, spending countless hours measuring currents and inspecting for soldering defects.

There are a number of complex tasks involved in the manufacturing of electronic assemblies, all of which can go wrong. In order to ensure quality standards are met, the fabrication of the printed ...

In order to continuously improve the transparency of power distribution grids, it is important to have precise knowledge about the relevant conditions in the local grid. This is achieved by utilizing ...

Most switching power-supply controllers provide non-latching fault protection. Satisfying a requirement for a latchoff response to a fault often requires the addition of excessive and redundant ...

This is the first of a two-part series on the processes used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. In Part 1, we’ll use a simplified power system to illustrate the ...

The digital voltmeter is the best basic tool for electrical troubleshooting, because it's calibrated and exact. But remember, the digital voltmeter can't detect a high-resistance fault if the circuit ...
