Abstract: In the wound-field synchronous starter-generator (WFSSG) system used in fully or more electric airplanes, the open-circuit (OC) fault of the rotating diode rectifier (RDR) poses a ...

[Hales] has been on a mission for a while to make his own diodes and put them to use and now he’s succeeded with diodes made of sodium bicarbonate and water, aluminum tape and soldered copper. By ...

Abstract: The asymmetric integrated gate commutated thyristor (IGCT) device is widely used in the hybrid medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) circuit breaker for current sharing and freewheeling, to ...

ProTek Devices has introduced an ultra-low capacitance steering diode array that provides circuit protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and secondary ...

Convergence issues are a frustrating deterrent to the use of simulation in analog and power electronics design, and in the four decades of SPICE, millions of engineers have suffered from the failed, ...
