Growing concerns about energy efficiency have led to the development of electronics with higher power density. In grid-connected and industrial applications, such as AC motor control, uninterruptible ...

Hipot data? That is an oxymoron. A hipot test, also known as dielectric breakdown, is a simple test: Apply high voltage to the insulation barrier of the DUT and ensure there is no breakdown. It is a ...

Fluke Corporation has announced the Fluke 360 AC Leakage Clamp Meter, a rugged, lightweight, pocket-sized current clamp designed for maintenance professionals and contractors. It offers a wide range ...

Manufacturers of medical electrical equipment are required to test to the international electrical safety standard IEC 60601 Medical Electrical Equipment, General Requirements for Safety, to ensure ...

In a perfect world, electrical insulation would allow no current to flow through it. Unfortunately, several factors can — and will — result in the deterioration and ultimate failure of electrical ...

Leakage current is one of the most stringent, yet telling, parameters of possible danger to patients or caregivers. It does not take much electric current flowing through the human body to cause harm.
