  • Effects of Overvoltage on Power Consumption
    Effects of Overvoltage on Power Consumption Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Panagiotis Dimitriadis College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering Brunel University London UK September 2015 ‘Oh Lord! Illuminate my darkness.’ [Saint Gregory Palamas] ii Abstract In the recent years there is an increasing need of electrical and electronic units for household, commercial and industrial use. These loads require a proper electrical power supply to convey optimal energy, i.e. kinetic, mechanical, heat, or electrical with different form. As it is known, any electrical or electronic unit in order to operate safely and satisfactory, requires that the nominal voltages provided to the power supply are kept within strict boundary values defined by the electrical standards and certainly there is no unit that can be supplied with voltage values above or below these specifications; consequently, for their correct and safe operation, priority has been given to the appropriate electrical power supply. Moreover, modern electrical and electronic equipment, in order to satisfy these demands in efficiency, reliability, with high speed and accuracy in operation, employ modern semiconductor devices in their circuitries or items. Nevertheless, these modern semiconductor devices or items appear non-linear transfer characteristics in switching mode, which create harmonic currents and finally distort the sinusoidal ac wave shape of the current and voltage supply. This dissertation proposes an analysis and synthesis of a framework specifically on what happens on power consumption in different types of loads or equipment when the nominal voltage supply increases over the permissibly limits of operation.

  • Electromagnetic Pulse - Nuclear EMP - Futurescience.Com
    Electromagnetic Pulse - Nuclear EMP - futurescience.com Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse by Jerry Emanuelson Futurescience, LLC The topic of nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is very mysterious to most people, and it is quite commonly misunderstood. It is also the subject of a large amount of misinformation. (It is a persistent problem that many people want to ignore the science and make it into a political issue.) There are separate pages on EMP personal protection, Soviet nuclear EMP tests in 1962, and on other topics including a separate page of notes and technical references. Much of the information here describes the possible effects of EMP on the continental United States, but the information can be used to describe the effects on any industrialized country. In testimony before the United States Congress House Armed Services Committee on October 7, 1999, the eminent physicist Dr. Lowell Wood, in talking about Starfish Prime and the related EMP-producing nuclear tests in 1962, stated, "Most fortunately, these tests took place over Johnston Island in the mid-Pacific rather than the Nevada Test Site, or electromagnetic pulse would still be indelibly imprinted in the minds of the citizenry of the western U.S., as well as in the history books. As it was, significant damage was done to both civilian and military electrical systems throughout the Hawaiian Islands, over 800 miles away from ground zero. The origin and nature of this damage was successfully obscured at the time -- aided by its mysterious character and the essentially incredible truth." http://www.futurescience.com/emp.html (1 of 14) [3/23/2010 2:38:20 PM] Electromagnetic Pulse - Nuclear EMP - futurescience.com The Starfish Prime Nuclear Test from more than 800 miles away Although nuclear EMP was known since the earliest days of nuclear weapons testing, the magnitude of the effects of nuclear EMP were not known until a 1962 test of a thermonuclear weapon in space called the Starfish Prime test.

An MOV, or Metal Oxide Varistor, is a voltage suppression device that clamps a transient in an electrical circuit. It is also called a Varistor , or variable resistor, because its resistance changes with applied voltage. Sometimes they are referred to as a VDR, or Voltage Dependant Resistor, by some manufacturers. An MOV is a voltage dependent device which has an electrical behavior similar to back to back zener diodes. When exposed to high voltage transients, the MOV’s resistance changes from a near open circuit to a very low value, thus clamping the transient voltage to a safe level. The potentially destructive energy of the incoming transient pulse is absorbed by the Varistor, thereby protecting vulnerable circuit components. 4 Version01_100407 Terms . Voltage Transients .

  • AN048 the Basic Principles of Electrical Overstress (EOS)
    www.osram-os.com Application Note No. AN048 The basic principles of Electrical Overstress (EOS) Application Note Valid for: all LEDs from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Abstract Every single electronic component or device has absolute maximum electrical rated values that are specified by the component manufacturer. Each component must be operated below the maximum rated values in order to ensure that it functions properly, reliably, and robustly. As a semiconductor-based optoelectronic device, an LED (light-emitting diode) should also be operated below the absolute maximum electrical ratings specified in the manufacturer's data sheet in order to safeguard its reliability and service life as well as to ensure that it is operated safely. One factor that contributes to LED failure in LED circuits and systems is electrical overstress (EOS). This application note describes the nature of EOS, explains how it differs from ESD, discusses its causes, outlines EOS-related damage, and provides information on how an LED can be protected from EOS. Even though these basic principles apply to all electronic components, this application note focuses on LEDs.

Regardless of the situation, the general issue is the effect of overvoltage stress (and, in some cases, abuse) on analog integrated circuits.
