A new, MIL-qualified power converter has been designed to provide electrical isolation between input power and an electrically noisy load. The DTI PCS-5000 maintains a unity power factor when driving ...

At one time, almost all electrical loads were linear — those that weren't made up such a small portion of the total that they had little effect on electrical system operation. That all changed, ...

Here's when to use linear-static FEA and when to use a nonlinear program. Most engineering problems contain nonlinear effects. Take a paper clip, for example. Push on one end hard enough and the clip ...

Electricity is produced by a variety of generating units, each with different lead times and costs to be readied for service, and production costs once brought online. Because electricity is a ...

• Most problems are nonlinear from the get-go. • Simplified load-deflection cases can help explain nonlinear (structural) FEA. Which designers need nonlinear FEA and why? Actually, projects ranging ...
