Abstract: Wide-bandgap (WBG) devices, such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride, offer higher switching frequencies and power density compared to traditional silicon insulated gate bipolar ...

These days ready-to-use DC-DC converters are everywhere, with some of the cheaper ones even being safe to use without an ...

Abstract: As the core equipment for AC/DC conversion in ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission systems, thyristor converter valves are the main source of losses in converter stations.

Crowbar circuits have long been the go-to safeguard against overvoltage conditions, prized for their simplicity and ...

A blast from the Elektor archives: this clever 1998 battery tester uses a simple LED display to reveal a battery’s true condition under load — even below 1 V. Built from standard components and no ...
