During normal operation, thermal circuit breakers utilize a thermal sensing element (such as bimetal), which deflects when the temperature reaches a predetermined calibration level, causing the ...

They do not depend on temperature as a tripping mechanism, so they often find use where ambient temperatures are high. Their insensitivity to temperature also makes them candidates for protecting ...

Core memory, magnetized memory using tiny magnetic rings suspended on a grid of wires, is now more than five decades obsolete, yet it exerts a fascination for hardware hackers still. Not least [Andy ...

One of the seemingly most difficult aspects of power electronics is how to design power inductors and transformers. This specialty is often reserved for magnetics experts while electronics engineers ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Generating a high-frequency magnetic field can be quite a challenge due to an assortment of technical issues. At high ...

Magnetic Core memory was the RAM at the heart of many computer systems through the 1970s, and is undergoing something of a resurgence today since it is easiest form of memory for an enterprising ...
