Short circuit current ratings should not be overlooked during panel design. Negative impacts can occur to production, equipment and, worst case, plant personnel. Per 2014 NEC Article 100, short ...

A Canadian consortium led by the Sherbrooke University has developed a CPV panel with improved light absorption through a microstructured anti-reflecting coating consisting of a monolayer of silica ...

Short Circuit Analytic (SCA V1.0) software program performs available fault current calculations for 3-phase electric power systems. The program takes into consideration electrical parameters of the ...

An application of the methods of irreversible thermodynamics to the fluxes in plant xylem is examined, and an expression is derived for the electric current present when a length of stem is short ...

This circuit is suitable in every situation where over-current protection is required. Here we give an example from the model train world. Every seasoned model train enthusiast knows that there is ...

What is a desaturation detection circuit? A desaturation fault detection circuit provides protection for power semiconductor switches (IGBT or MOSFETs) against short-circuit current events which may ...

All questions and answers are based on the 2011 NEC. Q. What is the Code requirement for the interrupting protection rating of overcurrent devices? A. Overcurrent devices, such as circuit breakers and ...
