Electronic circuit breaker limits downtime. In factory-automation settings where 24-V switching supplies power multiple loads, the fault on a single load circuit can shut down the power supply, ...

Like the IC eFuse, which adds functions and features to a classic passive overcurrent and safety device, the LTC4249 does the same for the venerable electromagnetic or thermal circuit breaker. The ...

To reduce arc flash incidents in circuit breakers that currently average at 30,000 per year, Atom Power proposes a solid-state design to replace traditional analog ones. The Atom Switch responds to a ...

A circuit breaker protects sensitive load circuits from excessive current flow by opening the power supply when the current reaches a predetermined level. The simplest circuit breaker is a fuse, but ...

The transformation of the power landscape involves more than just generation. The distribution of electricity is being changed as well, with technology designed to make electrical systems safer, more ...

Ryan Kennedy began his career as an electrician, and after spending six years in the power distribution industry, he went to college to become a professional engineer. During his college days and soon ...

Atom Power, inventor of the world’s first and only digital circuit breaker, today announced its technology is listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), the governing standard for consumer safety. This ...

EvoPacT digital circuit breakers help mitigate risks for facilities and the people who work with them Lasts three times longer than the industry standard for MV circuit breakers Tested against all ...

I have been writing a lot lately about a big trend in the energy world, namely the decentralization of the energy system. Almost all electricity used to be generated at large power plants and carried ...
