Hot-swap circuits are among those measures put in place to protect equipment or personnel, or both. Some power supplies, for example, have built-in and adjustable current limiting (standard in ...

The circuit is designed for power supply protection by limiting the amount of maximum output current to prevent any further damage to take place inside the power supply as well as the external circuit ...

A doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) configured for crowbar protection faces the following problems during low voltage ride through (LVRT): delayed input of crowbar protection and the difficulty in ...

Abstract: A hybrid DC circuit breaker topology with current limiting function is proposed to address the problem of large short-circuit fault current in DC grids. This topology employs a pre-charged ...

Here at Hackaday we really like to feature projects that push the limits of what’s possible, or ones that feature some new and exciting technology that nobody has ever seen before. So what’s so ...

Not that this happens often, but what do you do when faced with a repair where you don’t know the power source but you do know you have to drive LED backlighting? When faced with this dilemma [Eric ...

Adding a clamp circuit to the well known current-limiter protects the "pass" transistor from over-currents when load faults occur. Most readers are probably familiar with two-terminal current-limiting ...

Bulletin 140G molded-case circuit breakers react up to three times faster to minimize downtime Industrial automation customers can improve their short-circuit protection with a new line of ...

Abstract: In SiC MOSFET's short-circuit fault, large short-circuit current spikes during the delay time of short-circuit protection will increase its risk of damage and accelerate device degradation.
