A new class of high-power, three-phase AC-DC units with flexible outputs and industrial temp resilience aims to streamline power design in test, fab and manufacturing systems.

Electric fans commonly use low-cost AC motors built around capacitors, which now increasingly demand replacement due to high power consumption. However, while three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors ...

A new IC-based approach to EMI filtering in ac-dc power subsystems dramatically cuts inductor size and offers other benefits as well. The nature of the EMI problem in ac-dc supplies and its ...

In the original version of this article, the second figure contained an error. The image has been updated. It’s important for engineers to have a good, working ...

The consequences can be costly, ranging from production downtime to compromised equipment and even safety hazards. Certainly, capacitors are indeed responsible for 30% of power electronics failures, ...
