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 ...

As discussed in Part 1, the interrupting ratings of low-voltage circuit breakers and fuses are classified on a symmetrical-current-rated basis. In this context, “symmetrical-current-rated” implies ...

As evident, the short-circuit current reaches about 1250A, far surpassing the three times current rating of two of the 300A open-loop sensors (OL1 and OL2).

Siemens has now rounded out its range of products for monitoring power distribution grids by introducing the short-circuit and ground-fault detection device Sicam FSI.
