    Resistive Load Safety

    Another design theory question here... My application is going to rectify 480vac 3phase to 648VDC and send it into a dummy load. The load is 13Ohms, with 50Adc load, 32.5kW dissipation. I'm designing the control now, that the user will interface with. I suppose my question is theory, is it...

    Supply Bus Isolation Advice

    Hi I've got a situation where I will be drawing 255A from a 3-phase power bus. I'd like to use good design practice in its implementation, and I'm still in the learning process for power electronics. (computer engr. here) I'd like a level of protection between the bus and the load. Correct...

    Resistor Wattage - How Long Sustainable?

    Hi All, I've got a project that uses a rectifier, and outputs to 5 locations. I need to build a load cell for each output. The resistance value will be 13Ohms. Power dissipation through each load will be 32.5KW for roughly 15 seconds. My question is, how would you go about selecting a...
