Most of the diagnostic, treatment, and life support devices used in healthcare require regular power supply in order to function properly. Accidentally turning off a medical device can have serious ...

A previous Design Idea outlined a relatively simple circuit in which a momentary pushbutton could be made to function like a latching, mechanical switch. The article generated a good deal of reader ...

Atom Power, inventor of a digital circuit breaker, introduced the second generation of its technology. The Generation 2 Atom Switch is now UL Listed to UL 489I — the standard listing for solid-state ...

If you want to easily control the power in a circuit, you’ll probably reach for the classic toggle switch. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with that, physical toggles are a bit dated at this ...

Most places you live in today will manage their electrical power via circuit breakers, though fuse boxes predated that ...

Power gallium-nitride (GaN) FETs have been available for several years now, but some engineers have been slow to adopt them in power equipment despite their superior characteristics. Getting ...

Hurricane and wildfire seasons are underway, and they appear to be getting longer and more severe in recent years. In response to this, portable generators and power stations have become critical ...

For some of us, there are few sounds more satisfying than the deep resonant “thunk” of a high quality toggle switch slamming into position. There isn’t an overabundance of visceral experiences when ...
