There are two main types of electrical current that flow through your home: Alternating and direct. The vast majority of devices around you are powered by alternating current. By allowing electrons to ...

Trials of a direct current (DC) circuit-breaker module prototype – a technology key to the development of a high-voltage DC meshed offshore grid off Europe – have been successfully completed at DNV GL ...

The rapid expansion of high voltage direct current (HVDC) grids, driven by the massive integration of renewable energy sources, has underscored the critical role of DC circuit breakers (DCCBs) and ...

When picking a switch to use in electrical design, many people believe they can use any switch, provided its current rating is more than the maximum load in the circuit. This, of course, isn’t true.

A publicly-funded European team lead by Infineon is to try and develop a semiconductor-based DC circuit breaker Losses in power grids and electric devices are between 5% and 7% smaller with direct ...

Multimeters are one of the most fundamental pieces of test equipment in any lab, but they can often do much more than we realize. Let's take a look at the variety of measurements a standard multimeter ...

Three major high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology giants—GE Vernova, Siemens Energy, and Hitachi Energy—will join forces with four German transmission system operators—50Hertz, Amprion, TenneT ...
