DC Anti-Backflow: Comparing Active ORing and Diode ORing for Reverse Current Protection

DC Anti-Backflow: Comparing Active ORing and Diode ORing for Reverse Current Protection

Reverse-current protection has become an integral part of overall power-system architecture. Selecting the appropriate ORing strategy requires balancing efficiency, thermal behavior, reliability, maintainability, and installation requirements. The goal is to develop redundant DC power systems that are more efficient and more robust throughout their operational lifetime.

Why a Conforming Two-Layer ESD Mat Can Fail Incoming Inspection

Why a Conforming Two-Layer ESD Mat Can Fail Incoming Inspection

A shipment read non-conforming until the inspector realized which layer he had measured. Two-layer ESD matting carries two separate resistance specifications, not one.
