A different set of fault models and testing techniques is required for memory blocks vs. logic. MBIST algorithms that are used to detect faults inside memory are based upon these fault models. This ...

Although new to the NEC, AFCIs are important for protecting against arc faults. Unsafe arc faults can occur as series or parallel arcs. A series arc can occur when the conductor in series with the ...

As observed in Lesson 3, at low pressures and temperatures rock is a brittle material that will fail by fracture if the stresses become sufficiently large. When a lateral displacement takes place on a ...

It is well established that transition and stuck-at fault models detect the vast majority of production defects. The transition fault model focuses on detecting timing-related defects. However, the ...

Schematic view of a typical Smart Cable Guard setup with a monitored cable section spanning multiple RMUs installed in medium-voltage/low-voltage substations. Medium ...

Over the last several weeks, earthquakes have rocked parts of the United States from Alaska to Wednesday morning's quake in Tennessee. The most recent quake registered as a magnitude 4.4, just ...

To date, all Voltage Source Converters (VSC) used in HVDC networks are incapable of clearing faults on the DC side of the converter. “For most of the situations where such converters have been used so ...
