Anyone who’s visited Niagara Falls in the summer has surely watched the famed Maid of the Mist boats ply the waters of the Niagara Gorge. The ships, which appear tiny from above, seem to get perilously close to the thundering water from both the American and Canadian falls, crashing down roughly 200 feet. Now, the…

Medical rectifier designed to meet various medical industry standards
In the medical device space, safety and reliability are paramount. Using power supplies that meet the industry’s stringent standards is one of the core ways to help ensure these requirements are met. Helping to meet this need, ABB Power Conversion has introduced its new MPE2000AC48_200AC24 (MPE2000) rectifier, which has been designed specifically with medical applications […]
60A, dc-dc converters helps power 5G, IT, and IIoT applications
Pushing the boundaries of advanced IT and networking devices requires improvements in component density and functionality. And for power and electrical engineers, this equates to designing board-level power modules in ever-shrinking, high-density packages. ABB’s new MicroDLynx IITM DC-DC converters help meet the power needs of demanding, data-hungry applications, providing highly accurate voltage regulation in a […]
90-A dc-dc converter delvers high power density at 178A/in2
With IT and networking technologies continue to pack more features and processing capacity into smaller packages, printed circuit and wired board space are at more of a premium than ever before. For power engineers and board designers, that can mean less board space available for required power components. ABB is helping to free up valuable […]
Open-frame power supplies now support power ranges of 150 W to 500 W
ABB is expanding its CLP open-frame power supply product family to support a higher range of output voltages. The new additions to the product line increase its output voltage options to up to 54 volts DC and its output power options to up to 550 watts. The new CLP power supplies achieve this increase in […]
All-electric Formula-E racing ramps up

Season five kicked off in Ad Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, on Sunday, December 16, 2018, and will take its final lap in New York City on Sunday, July 14, 2019. The next race takes place this Saturday, February 16, […]
What advanced sensing techniques are used to find lost treasures? Part 4: Resistivity measurements
This series has previously addressed magnetometry, electromagnetic induction and ground penetrating radar. Another sensing technique frequently used by archeologists and treasure hunters to find objects involves resistivity measurements. Unlike other sensing techniques, resistance measurements involve inserting metal probes into the ground rather than non-invasive surface measurements. Since electrical currents are conducted through the soil by […]
