The reality is that there is no single “wonder material.” As such, the vast majority of overhead line conductors are nonhomogeneous (made up of more than one material). Typically, this involves a high ...

With the 795-kcmil ACSS line design complete, Avista was approached by General Cable about its E3X Technology. Introduced to the market in 2015, E3X Technology is a thin, durable coating applied in ...

If Chapter 9 is the last place you think to look when designing a new electrical system, you’re really missing the mark, because the data in this section of the NEC is the key to determining proper ...

New Conductor Designs Tested September 2, 2002 N General Cable, Highland Heights, Ky., last month introduced an addition to its BICC brand bare overhead conductor line called TransPowr TW.

One of the best ways to make a product or process safe is to proactively engineer safety into the product. That’s the focus ...

Cable Jackets Once the insulators and conductors have been addressed, the jacket comes into the design cycle. Since cables can have a number of conductor and insulating layers, the primary purpose of ...

How you should treat the neutral conductor depends on your system design. Neutral conductors must be grounded to prevent inadvertent potentials on conductive surfaces of equipment, enclosures and ...

Maxim Integrated's Bill Laumeister discusses design tradeoffs in power management for hybrid ICs and modules, wiht emphasis on efficiency in passives. Power passives—inductors and capacitors ...

We have progressed from the initial 1.6% and 3.4% reported previously in 2016 and 2018 respectively to 8.8% in 2019 using our newly developed p-type transparent conductor for such hybrid thin film ...
