With IEC 62368 replacing earlier safety standards for TVs and IT equipment, Power Integrations is certifying its X capacitor discharge ICs to the new standard. X capacitors control conducted emissions ...

DC testing of solid dielectric cable is largely ineffective, highly discouraged, and discontinued by most. The preferred method is to use AC voltage to test cables, and for long cable runs, a Very Low ...

When a crew employed by a local electric utility set out to conduct a DC hi-pot test on a new circuit breaker, the task seemed like nothing more than a routine call. Unfortunately, the events that ...
