Circuit breakers are a safety feature that automatically interrupts the flow of electricity in the face of a system fault or ...

Trials of a direct current (DC) circuit-breaker module prototype – a technology key to the development of a high-voltage DC meshed offshore grid off Europe – have been successfully completed at DNV GL ...

Despite the dominance of alternating current in our day to day lives, direct current still has some very useful applications.

Like DC current measurements, AC current must be measured in series with the circuit to allow the electrons to flow through the multimeter in order to take the measurement.

As you can imagine, that makes alternating current more complicated to deal with. So Edison had a point: Direct current is much simpler. In fact, anyone can make a DC circuit.

Alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) circuits are capable of carrying very different currents, as illustrated by the ratings on the switch in Figure 1. This is why it’s so important ...

Mitsubishi Electric (MIELY) entered into a share transfer agreement last week for wholly acquiring Swedish-based, Scibreak AB, company that develops direct current circuit breakers.Both ...

Three major high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology giants—GE Vernova, Siemens Energy, and Hitachi Energy—will join forces with four German ...
