Despite the widespread use of low-power ICs—or counterintuitively, because of it—DC power-rail currents on PCBs keep increasing. It’s not unusual to have a modest-size board drawing high tens of amps ...

Bus bars are not typically viewed as cutting-edge technology but circuit designers can take advantage multi-layer bus bar configurations. Regardless of a bus bar’s size or complexity, its fundamental ...

Copper bus bars are commonly used instead of wire for carrying high currents. [Dane] needed some bus bars for a project, but he was worried about corrosion. His solution was tin electroplating the bus ...

There's a new reason to make your way downtown this week. BUS — Bar Under The Sun — opened its doors Wednesday at the site of the former Greyhound Bus Station on Chaparral Street. The best part?

Early data centers were powered by masses of cables under the raised floor. To make the system easier to modify and maintain, and get rid of the skeins of cables that blocked airflow, the cables to ...

A Spanish research team has developed a set of techniques to repair ribbon busbar interruptions in PV panels without resorting to expensive electroluminescence images. The scientists warned that the ...

Bus bars are an important component in the manufacture of transformers. They are a solid element that allows a flexible way of transmitting and distributing power. When brazing the bars, stability and ...

As I was flipping through my photo library, I ran across this picture of an onboard electrical system on someone’s boat. Check out the brass bus bar. Brass is only about 25 percent as electrically ...

Not every system requires laminated bus bars. In some rack-mounted systems, current levels don’t rise above the capacity of a backplane. In other cases, there are ...
