| Title | Author | Date |
| Specifications and standards for circuit breakers and supplementary protectors | E-T-A Circuit Breakers | 06/01/2007 |
| This paper provides a clear understanding of UL standards and requirements design engineers can use to assure optimal performance and safety. | ||
| 12 most common mistakes when specifying circuit protection for equipment | E-T-A Circuit Breakers | 05/11/2007 |
| This paper presents the 12 most common pitfalls to avoid when it comes to specifying circuit protection and offers suggestions on how to protect your designs. | ||
| How to protect against overloads and short circuits | E-T-A Circuit Breakers | 04/05/2007 |
| Overload or short circuit protection? Protect your design against both dangers. This white paper gives pointers on how to determine the main job a breaker must do and how to make an appropriate selection. | ||
| The ins and outs of I/P transducers | ControlAir Inc. | 01/25/2007 |
| I/P transducers are relatively simple devices, but there are numerous factors to take into account before selecting one. This paper provides a complete understanding of the factors involved in making the correct product selection, installation, and maintenance. | ||
| Cost reduction through electrical CAE | EPLAN Software | 09/01/2006 |
| The automation industry is now at the foothills of another paradigm shift, the CAE revolution. This White Paper discusses the emerging role of Computer-Aided Engineering for OEM engineers and designers and recommends that to avoid making the revolution difficult, we in the U.S. adopt the paradigm shift and see its value. | ||
| 3-phase AC calculations revisited | Dataforth | 05/15/2006 |
| This application note illustrates real-time cosine functionality and associated phasor notation for a 3-phase line-to-line voltage system with line voltage V12 as reference. It contains AC system definitions and basic rules for calculations with examples. | ||
| Efficiency: The forgotten feature of power supplies | Puls Power Supplies | 04/25/2006 |
| Efficiency is one of the most important features that every engineer must consider when selecting a power supply. This White Paper maintains that it is possible to use a smaller power supply because no de-rating is necessary, in most cases. | ||
| When good grounds go bad | Dataforth | 03/02/2006 |
| This application note illustrates some situations, such as natural phenomena and potential accidents, where unexpected ground voltages could cause instrumentation errors. Will your signal conditioning modules and field sensor electronics take this abuse? | ||
| Measuring RMS values of voltage and current | Dataforth | 01/31/2006 |
| This application note addresses standard classic measurements of voltage (current) values based on average or effective root mean square (RMS) values of complex functions, and provides examples of practical considerations for using the RMS Equation. | ||
| Acceptability of 16 and 18 AWG conductors for branch circuits | Cooper Bussmann | 10/09/2005 |
| This White Paper presents the engineering analysis and the experimental results of testing performed to verify the acceptability of 16 and 18 AWG conductors for branch circuits in industrial machinery built to NFPA 79 2002. | ||
| Cost reduction through electrical CAE | EPLAN Software | 09/15/2005 |
| The automation industry is now at the foothills of another paradigm shift, the CAE revolution. This White Paper discusses the emerging role of Computer-Aided Engineering for OEM engineers and designers and recommends that to avoid making the revolution difficult, we in the U.S. adopt the paradigm shift and see its value. | ||
| Electro-hydraulic system design: Making the right system choices | Delta Computer Systems | 06/13/2005 |
| Designers who understand and can take advantage of the differences between fluid power and traditional electromechanical power can build machines that produce higher quality output with lower lifecycle costs. This White Paper suggests that care must be taken, however, in selecting and sizing the hydraulic system elements and in tuning the motion controller for optimal performance. | ||
| Specifying adjustable frequency drives for EMC in industrial applications | // | |
| This White Paper provides a review of Electromagnetic Compatability (EMC) standards, and what drives specifiers for global OEMs should recommend. | ||
