Thermoelectric Module simulation software shortens design time
Global technology leader Laird has updated and enhanced the AZTEC™ thermoelectric module (TEM) simulation program algorithms to further reduce thermal design time. The AZTEC product selection tool allows design engineers to specify a given set of input variables based on application attributes and the software analysis outputs optimal TEMs for examination. The advanced program enables […]
Online tool for power quality simulations
Schaffner EMC introduces PQS, a Power Quality Simulation tool which allows planners, consultants and application engineers to accurately model and simulate low voltage 3-phase network topologies. This powerful online tool is easy to use, with drag and drop convenience, drop-down menu-driven functionality, and fill-in-the-blanks simplicity. It allows the simulation of power, current and voltage at […]

It is better to learn electrostatic discharge (ESD) from others
From the last post “Avoid the stew getting shocked out of you”, a tremendous amount of feedback was given. In continuing with basic electric fundamentals (I say this tongue in cheek), here is a video that teaches electrostatic discharge (ESD) basic principles through interactive learning. I was going to demonstrate these fundamental principles to this […]
