A large portion of design for recycling concerns product assembly. Gluing parts together can mean that they cannot be separated cost efficiently, or ever again at all. Push-fit connections are the ...

This teardown article will delve into the architectural design and components of a solar inverter card starting from the Solar panel DC inputs and working our way through the DC to AC conversion ...

Silicon carbide (SiC) power devices have been commercially available for ten years. During that time, there has been a steady increase in voltage ratings to 1,200 V and 1,700 V for SiC-Schottky diodes ...

A proposed photovoltaic current-source gridconnected inverter has small volume, low total harmonic distortion, high power factor and simple control, and also simplifies photovoltaic system design. The ...

Improving the modern electric drivetrain isn't easy, but it's certainly worthwhile. It's rewarding too, for any one entering the Google and IEEE 'Littlebox Challenge'--a competition to design a ...

The best part about BEV and hybrid cars is probably the bit where their electronics are taken out for a good teardown and ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China have designed a novel topology for a bidirectional inverter for uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The proposed inverter design, ...
