One of the most frustrating challenges for control engineers and specialists is the potential early failure of interposing or interfacing relays used to drive inductive loads. This is especially true ...

Increased electrification in vehicles is changing the way driver assistance systems are designed, says Yang Wang, with high-side switches increasingly used for resistive, capacitive and inductive ...

Voltage sags and flicker are among the most common problems affecting distribution circuit performance. Both problems are caused predominantly by large nonlinear inductive customer loads. Examples of ...

Many loads are mainly resistive; thus, they’re rated in watts (i.e., true power). Simply stated, these loads have a very small reactive component, which means an apparent power rating (VA) would not ...
