Checks on the internal electronics, such as verifying that the voltage levels of internal power supplies are within specifications.

Within multiple-output forward converters, it is possible to easily combine the filter chokes of complementary outputs (i.e., +/- 5V, etc.) together on the same core (see Figure 3-2f). This offers several advantages it saves space, vastly improves cross-regulation of those outputs, and exliibits superior ripple voltage levels on both outputs. 

The basic reasons for grounding an electrical supply system are to limit the electrical potential difference (voltage) between all uninsulated conductive equipment in the area to provide isolation of faults in the system and to limit overvoltage on the system under various conditions. In the case of a grounded system it is essential to ground at each separately derived voltage level. 

This very high voltage level is actually produced by the secondary of the transformers at a modern commercial electrical power plant the 750,000 is connected to the high voltage transmission lines (thick wire cables) that are used to transport the elec-...

Fuel cells are also inherently flexible. Like batteries in a flashlight, the cells can be stacked to produce voltage levels that match specific power needs from a few watts for certain appliances to multiple megawatt power stations that can light a community. 

The power supply is also not measurement specific. Almost all sensors, signal processors, and readouts operate from similar voltages. The power supply converts the alternating current (ac) line power (or battery power) to voltage levels needed to operate the other functional elements of the instrument. See Figure 6.6 and Workplace Scene 6.1. 

Factors affecting the selection of operating conditions are stack size, heat transfer rate, voltage level, load requirement, and cost. The performance curve is defined by cell pressure, temperature, gas composition, and utilization. Typical MCFCs will generally operate in the range of 100 to... 

The above discussion implies that MCFCs should be operated at low reactant gas utilizations to maintain voltage levels, but doing this means inefficient fuel use. As with other fuel cell types, a compromise must be made to optimize overall performance. Typical utilizations are 75 to 85% of the fuel. 

The voltage level of a SOFC is reduced by ohmic, activation, and concentration losses, which increase with increasing current density. The magnitude of this loss is described by the following equation that was developed from information in the literature (36,29,37,38,39,40) ...
