This is the first of a two-part series on the processes used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. In Part 1, we’ll use a simplified power system to illustrate the ...

Understanding the role of short-circuit current is critical to the reliability of your electrical system and to the safety of the people who maintain it. When designing or modifying a distribution ...

The global demand for green energy sources is driving strong market growth for solar power systems. Although a great deal of development work is still focused on making PV (photovoltaic) energy ...

The increasing use of integrated circuits in modern electronic systems has resulted in a growing awareness about lightning overvoltage hazard. The integrated circuits, especially large-scale ...

Advancements in power TVS diodes have made them an effective alternative to metal oxide varistors (MOVs) in protecting AC and DC power supplies from power line surges and indirect lightning strikes.

Protecting a power supply and its load from each other’s faults requires components and functions such as the fuse, undervoltage lockout, crowbars, and clamps. Power protection is like insurance: You ...

Now that autos are moving toward high-powered battery voltage, the industry is turning new attention toward making sure the flow can stop on a dime when needed. Power management company Eaton Corp.

With the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi recording a peak power demand of 7,265 megawatts (MW) on May 19 — a record high for the month — it’s no rocket science to know that air conditioners ...
