With smart grid technologies as well as power technologies for renewables and improved energy efficiency, there is an increased use of electronics. We see a growth in the use of power electronics as well as electronics for information technologies. The term Smart Grid enables a Smart Electrical System – the entire power system with networks as well as connected equipment converting between electrical energy and other forms of useful energy.
Think EMC is just about meeting regulations? Think again. Discover how electromagnetic compatibility's true purpose—ensuring systems work harmoniously with themselves—revolutionized modern electronics design.
This column describes a simple method to measure capacitor parasitic parameters (ESR and inductance) using a pulse generator and oscilloscope. This helps evaluate capacitor performance for applications sensitive to these parameters without requiring expensive network analyzers.
