Short-circuit currents represent a tremendous amount of destructive energy, which can be released through electrical systems under fault conditions. Baseline short-circuit studies should be performed ...

Short circuit current ratings should not be overlooked during panel design. Negative impacts can occur to production, equipment and, worst case, plant personnel. Per 2014 NEC Article 100, short ...

Short circuits are relatively common, but they can be dangerous and a warning sign of a possible electrical hazard, so it's important to know what short circuits are and how to prevent them in your ...

What's the difference between a short-circuit current rating (SCCR) and an interrupting rating (IR)? If you're not sure, clearing up the confusion could be as simple as brushing up on your definitions ...

Trench-based silicon carbide power MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors) represent a dramatic improvement in the Figure of Merit (FOM) values of power conversion switching ...

Researchers at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia have investigated whether the temperature coefficient of the short circuit current in perovskite-silicon ...

SiC MOSFETs are usually susceptible to damage as a result of short-circuiting events because of the fast switching speeds and low on-state resistance. 3 A team of researchers affiliated with the ...

With its wide common-mode sense range of 0 V to within 2 V of the supply voltage applied, the ZXCT1051 current monitor from Zetex enables true short circuit current monitoring. With its wide ...

This circuit is suitable in every situation where over-current protection is required. Here we give an example from the model train world. Every seasoned model train enthusiast knows that there is ...

The Joint Research Centre (JRC), which is the European Commission's science and knowledge service, has announced that an unprecedented agreement has been found in measuring the temperature dependence ...
