Electrical Devices vs Electronic Devices—What’s the difference?
WEBJun 6, 2016 · Electronic Devices. In contrast, electronic devices do much more. Instead of just converting electrical energy into light, heat, or motion, electronic devices are designed to manipulate the electrical current in ways that adds meaningful information to the current. For example, an electronic toaster uses the same heating elements, springs, and ...
Understanding the IEC 62368-1 standard for electronic equipment
WEBDec 20, 2021 · IEC 62368-1 now refers to a varistor as a possible ignition source, thus requiring additional tests. The varistor overload test (the Annex G.8 portion of the standard) is a stress test that progressively steps up the power in the varistor. The test uses an AC source to apply twice the equipment’s voltage rating through a resistor to the ...

MOSFET vs. IGBT: What is the Difference? - Electronic Products
WEBOct 3, 2011 · There are many types of switch-mode power supply (SMPS) transistors to choose from today. Two of the more popular versions are the metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) and the insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). Historically speaking, low-voltage, low-current and high switching frequencies favor MOSFETs.
What is Transient Voltage? - Electronic Products
