Large load tariffs proliferate as states take more active role in data center regulation

In 2025, state regulators approved 29 large load tariffs, and more are on the way. Experts say it’s too soon to know if the ...

Virtual remote sensing improves load regulation

Wires and connectors have resistance. Ohm’s law is unavoidable and dictates that a power source’s remote load voltage will be less than the source’s output voltage. The conventional solution to ...

Enabling a variable output regulator to produce 0 volts? Caveat, designer!

For some time now, many of EDN’s Design Ideas (DIs) have dealt with ground-referenced, single-power-supplied voltage regulators whose outputs can be configured to produce zero or near-zero volts [1][2 ...
