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 ...

Fault managed power (FMP) has become a topic of increased interest in electrical construction projects over recent years due to rising popularity and demand for larger project applications. Michael ...

AWARE uses waveform signatures to detect and classify early-stage grid faults, enabling proactive intervention. The system combines physics-based models with AI/ML to interpret subtle electrical ...

According to the IEEE Buff Book, "A power cable must be protected from overheating due to excessive short-circuit current flowing in its conductor," which may damage or destroy the insulation. It also ...

If your circuit design has requirements to be tolerant to certain faults and to report their occurrence, you’ll need to test the fault detection and protection features of your design during the test ...

Designers parallel their power supplies to increase system power output or to provide fault tolerance. In this column, Contributing Editor Tom Curatolo discusses various techniques for load sharing ...

The U.S. Navy has determined the problem with the electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) that forced the USS Gerald R. Ford to return to port first appeared in the power handling system, but ...
