    Independent Testing Helps Solve Battery Temperature Issues
    Bernard Ang, Brian Whitaker, Keysight Technologies

    ­Large-scale applications typically use battery packs with modules wired in series and parallel connections. Thermal sensors placed strategically across a battery pack detect temperature variations. Large battery-pack thermal imbalance usually starts with the non-uniformities of battery cells affecting their charging and

    Figure 1: Output curve for an autoranging power supply compared with a power supply with a rectangular output. The autoranging supply provides higher output voltage, higher output current, and full power output at more V-I points.

    When Selecting a DC Power Supply, Understand its Output Characteristic
    Craig Frahm, Global Marketing Manager, EA Elektro-Automatik

    ­An important but overlooked aspect of power supply selection is the type of output characteristic that the power supply has. A typical power supply has a rectangular output in which maximum power is delivered only at the supply’s maximum rated voltage and maximum rated current. Another option is a power suppl

    Testing Times and the Most New Technology in One Place
    Ally Winning, European Editor, PSD

    Autumn is here and with that trade show time. This is an electronica year, and I’m looking forward to getting back to Munich and catching up with colleagues, as well as seeing what is new in the industry. Electronica is always very hard work, but there is nowhere else on earth that so much new technology can be

    A Much-Appreciated Change of Seasons with a very Testy Topic
    Jason Lomberg, North American Editor, PSD

    ­Welcome to the Fall, and a very special welcome to less extreme weather. After the brutal summer we’ve had, I’ve never been happier for a seasonal change (in fact, I think I’ve had reverse seasonal depression over the last several months). Then again, if my wife read this, she’d probably kill me s
