Maintenance and quality assurance are more important than ever in the aerospace industry. Keeping passengers and crews safe requires regular, meticulous ground testing – especially power quality ...

If a building has an electrical generator for power outages, one of the most valuable commissioning tests will be the loss of power response (LOPR) test, also known as a pull-the-plug test. This is ...

A tough challenge for test engineers is explored in terms of test methods, pitfalls, and measurement errors. For the test engineer, RF and microwave power amplifier testing imposes unique challenges.

Every engineer knows that a stable, well-regulated power supply is needed to perform reliable and consistent circuit and subsystem tests. But what about testing a new power-supply, regulator, or ...

Over the years, the need for increased reliability of electrical systems is no secret to those in the electrical industry. Data centers, hospitals, emergency call centers, government buildings, and ...

Power-aware test is a major manufacturing consideration due to the problems of increased power dissipation in various test modes, as well as test implications that come up with the usage of various ...

The power supply on a computer transforms the alternating current from the wall outlet into a direct current flow that the computer's components can use. Testing the DC voltage output of the power ...

In the 1990s, experts calculated that without efforts to increase efficiencies and reduce “no-load” power consumption, external power supplies—the ones used to power everything from cell-phones to ...
