In the paper a digital technique for improving the accuracy of instrument current transformers is presented. Since the exciting current can be considered as the main error source, its evaluation can allow the compensation of its detrimental effects to be obtained. The exciting current required by the transformer in ev…

Crystallographic and low frequency dielectric studies were performed on lead-free non-stoichiometric perovskite ceramics of Ba1—xBi2x/3□2x/3TiO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15) composition. A classical ferroelectric behaviour was shown for x lower than 0.09. A relaxor behaviour appears for higher values of x (0.09 ≤ x ≤ 0.15). The cor…

Thin film coolers can provide large cooling power densities compared to bulk thermoelectrics due to the close spacing of hot and cold junctions. Important parameters in the design of such coolers are investigated theoretically and experimentally. A three-dimensional (3D) finite element simulator (ANSYS) is used to mod…
