Burn-in testing, battery testing and other processes confront engineers with a major problem: Where to put the excess energy? This white paper discusses the savings potential regenerative loads can provide and other insightful benefits.
Regenerative electronic loads offer up to over 96% efficiency. Thus allowing businesses to recycle the vast majority of the power that would have otherwise been dumped. This is the next evolution in DC programmable power supplies -recycling all the energy and returning it to the local power grid. This article aims to discuss the amount of energy savings an industrial facility will see when switching to a regenerative load.
Stricter guidelines imposed by version 3 of the IEC standard for harmonic current emissions push designers to embrace power-factor-correction methodologies.
The flyback topology is a versatile, widely used, switched-mode power-supply design with some interesting characteristics that brings performance and BOM advantages to many applications...
