Tom Brennan, engineering manager at Sol-Ark, said that most inverters in home installations are grid-tied string inverters. They don’t work with batteries, but instead have to sell all the power they produce back to the grid.

The Dakar rally, which is currently underway in Peru, 6th to 17th January 2019, is known and respected as one of the most challenging and toughest events in motorsport. Often the routes take in mountainous and rocky terrains combined with extreme heat and dry conditions in very remote locations. As such, all the crews require access to remote power, which has traditionally been supplied by diesel generator sets.

Dunn is counting on Phase 2 of the solar system to pay for itself in less than three years. But the main challenge for many businesses is coming up with the initial investment money for installation.

In general, the leakage currents detected by the transducer will have an AC and a DC component and each user application will implement a specific algorithm on the transducer output to determine when a leakage is ‘excessive´ and then take appropriate action. A particularly challenging case occurs when there is a large natural and variable AC leakage component (depending on ambient humidity, for example) through parasitic capacitances, and the extra leakage caused by a person touching the DC side must still be detected. The impedance presented by a person is largely resistive, and so, as shown in Figure 8, the extra current flowing makes almost no difference to the RMS value of the leakage current; the main effect is a change of phase.

There are things Michiganders can do in advance to stay safe and minimize the disruption if the power goes out.

Littelfuse Inc of Chicago, IL, USA, which provides circuit protection technologies (including fuses, semiconductors, polymers, ceramics, relays and sensors), has launched the LSIC2SD065CxxA and LSIC2SD065AxxA Series second-generation series of 650V, AEC-Q101-qualified silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes.

Richard Winters, a 65-year-old physician from Poteau, Oklahoma, said the Volt still is useful in areas like Oklahoma and Arkansas where electric vehicle charging stations are few. He bought his first Volt in 2016 for the 120-mile round-trip commute from home to the Arkansas hospital where he works.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, alternative-fueled vehicles, a category that includes both hydrogen fuel cell and battery-powered electric, are not more hazardous than traditional internal combustion engines. The NFPA’s statistics reveal that approximately every 3 minutes there is a car fire in the U.S. from an internal combustion engine vehicle.

And while we put as much faith in market forecast reports as we do in astrology, one such prognosticator said the floating solar farm market was already worth more than $800 million in 2016, with expectations it will hit $2 billion by 2025. That’s only if Aquarius is Rising. Whatever that means.

The maximum allowable gate-source voltage for an eGaN FET of 6V is low compared with traditional silicon. The gate voltage is also low compared to most power MOSFETs, but doesn’t suffer from as strong a negative temperature coefficient. And, the body-diode forward drop can be a volt higher than comparable silicon MOSFETs.

66.9% of Alpha and Omega Semiconductor shares are held by institutional investors. 21.0% of Alpha and Omega Semiconductor shares are held by company insiders. Strong institutional ownership is an indication that hedge funds, endowments and large money managers believe a stock will outperform the market over the long term.
