Sponsored by TTI and Littelfuse. The importance of effective motor and motor circuit protection cannot be over-emphasized. Motors are consistently the largest single cause of industrial and commercial fires, and in today’s highly automated commercial and industrial facilities, the failure of even one relatively minor motor may shut down an entire installation. As a result,… Read more »
Sponsored by 3D Systems. For decades, photopolymer additive manufacturing (AM) has been leveraged to accelerate the development of innovative automotive components and systems. However, these parts were largely used for non-functional form and fit evaluations, or as patterns to create parts using a traditional molding or casting approach. This narrow use of the technology was… Read more »
Sponsored by Ametek Coining. Metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) are electronic devices used to switch or amplify voltages in circuits. Insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are suitable for high-voltage, high-current applications and are designed to drive high-power applications with a low-power input. In the journey to enhance EV reliability through thermal management, and increase efficiency… Read more »
Sponsored by Franklin Electric. One of the main causes of EV charger outages is communication failures within the charger itself. These failures can occur for a number of reasons, including software bugs, hardware malfunctions, and network connectivity issues. When these failures occur, the charger is unable to communicate with a CPO’s central management system, which… Read more »
