In designs where high voltage (HV) or current is present, it’s necessary to take steps to reduce the potential risk to users. These steps traditionally include insulation, grounding, and the isolation ...

To ensure compliance under 1910.147, hazardous energy sources, such as electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, chemical and thermal energy, need to be properly isolated to a zero-energy state through a ...

Where were you in 1996? Were you at the start of your career in the electrical industry or a seasoned expert in your prime? Regardless of where that year found you in your professional life, one thing ...

Signal and power isolation using a DC-DC converter implementation. The importance of isolation in medical equipment. A self-driven synchronous-rectifier circuit to isolate high voltage. One of the ...

The defining feature of a multimeter is that it requires the user to select the function and range required for testing through a rotary switch or buttons. Contrastingly, GS38 emphasises that test ...

Final electrical test remains one of the best ways to assess a circuit’s ultimate viability. But we know that, unfortunately, even 100% end-of-line electrical testing of semiconductor wafers will not ...
