For an efficient design, the conductor ampacity tables in Chapter 3 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) provide a starting point. But did the installation stay efficient over time? One way to ...

Inevitably, industrial facilities are going to have 460VAC, 3-phase motor loads. And, of course, since voltage drop is considered mainly a performance issue, maximum voltage drop rules on a circuit ...

As a fundamental concept of electronic design, voltage drop ranks highly as one to understand well. I particularly appreciate when industry folks come up with creative ways to get the point across.

In this pv magazine Webinar, we will demonstrate how their company’s software can manage every stage of a PV project’s development, and treat us to a closer look at the new feature for cable sizing ...

Despite the widespread availability and use of low-power components, today’s printed circuit boards (PCBs) can require a significant amount of current, with boards drawing 50, 100, and even 200 A in ...

Power integrity is becoming a bigger problem at 10/7nm because existing tools such as static analysis no longer are sufficient. Power integrity is a function of static and dynamic voltage drop in the ...
