G&W Electric, 배전 네트워크의 단상 자동화 기술의 특허받아

by Hordon Kim -

1905년부터 전력 장비의 글로벌 공급업체인 G&W Electric이 배전 네트워크에서의 단상 오류 위치 특정, 격리 및 서비스 복원(FLISR)에 대한 특허를 승인받았다고 발표했다. 이에 따라 오류의 영향을 받는 단상만 격리하는 기술ㅇ 더욱 신뢰를 받을 전망이다. 단상 FLISR은 전기 산업에서 가장 일반적인 오류인 단상 라인에서의 접지

The Short-Circuit Current Limiter for GaN FETs: Delivering Higher Short-Circuit Capability Without Compromising Performance

by Hordon Kim -

Short-circuit capability of power switches is a critical feature for all power systems, particularly those more susceptible to experiencing short circuit events such as motor drives. These events caused by overload, shoot- through, current surge and/or external fault conditions (Figure 1) [1] require
