The TRIAC is the device commonly used for switching and power control in AC circuits, as it can be switched “ON” by a positive or negative Gate pulse, regardless of the polarity of the AC supply at ...

This was a breakthrough at the time, though still far from an ideal switch. The Thyristor followed, offering bi-directionality in terms of voltage but not current. Then came the Triac ... with a ...

In an initial test, this circuit was able to efficiently convert AC currents into DC signals at liquid helium temperatures (e.g., those attained using closed-cycle refrigeration techniques).

Littelfuse, Inc. announced the expanded offering to the industrial Solid-State Relays (SSRs) family of products. The ...

Abstract: Guidance for the application of ac high-voltage circuit breakers for capacitance current switching is provided. The document addresses the general theory of capacitance current switching, ...

Abstract: Spin transfer torque (STT) is one of the most promising switching approaches for magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) nanopillars to build up innovative nonvolatile memory and logic circuits. It ...

With rapid growth of power demand, transmission capacity is also in urgent need of upgrading. In some cases, converting existing AC transmission lines to DC lines can Improve the transmission capacity ...
