Delays in short-circuit protection triggers require careful selection of the magnetics and overcurrent threshold values to prevent component stress.

Eaton says its upcoming Breaktor circuit protection technology works more effectively than standard circuit protector methods while also reducing maintenance costs.

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 ...

Regardless of current-limit protection in the IC, when a short circuit exists in the load, extremely high currents that flow through the load path can damage the catch diode, the inductor, and the IC.

Branch circuit short circuit and ground fault protection A branch circuit short circuit and ground fault protective device protects the motor, the motor control equipment, and the conductors against ...

PULS PISA-M 4-channel electronic circuit breakers (ECBs) are an efficient solution for creating multiple lower power circuits ...

Achieving proper balance between overload and short-circuit protection, along with gaining NEC compliance, doesn't have to be a source of angst. New technologies are entering the market that will make ...

The circuit adapts this concept for cases where a microcontroller is either not required or inappropriate. It also adds short-circuit load protection to an even “dumber” driver such as the ...

To ensure reliable protection, the overvoltage-protection circuit must be independent from the rest of the system’s circuits; it must have its own voltage reference and independent power source. The ...
