Overpressure is a separate problem that cannot be solved by a snubber. They are designed to stop spikes in pressure that last for a few milliseconds due to shock waves in the water hammer effect; a ...

Melexis is creating all-silicon RC snubbers for integrating within silicon carbide power modules. Currently sampling to potential customers, the parts will all be variants of the new part number ...

A failed or damaged pressure sensor can lead to unexpected downtime and costs. To reduce these risks, engineers must consider how the various challenges of an application will affect sensors.

A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...

Commodity pressure switches fail all the time. And in nonessential fluid control applications, those failures may not amount to much more than the switch’s replacement cost. However, in the fluid ...

The phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) shown in Figure 1 is popular in applications >500 W because it can achieve soft switching on its input switches for high converter efficiency. Although switching ...

Electrical engineering students are taught about magnetics and that energy is stored in an inductor when it is energized. This can be presented in a theoretical sense and may be applied to topics like ...
