Industrial automation customers can improve their short-circuit protection with a new line of current-limiting, molded-case circuit breakers from Rockwell Automation. The line expands the ...
The simple current-limiting load switch shown in Figure 1 will be familiar to most readers. In this circuit, a high level signal applied to the input switches on MOSFET Q2, which energizes the load.
The ABB Low Voltage Products division has introduced the new S200PR Ring Tongue family of high performance, current limiting miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) with ring tongue lug connections. The ...
The breakers conform to UL 489, CSA 22.2 No. 5 and IEC/EN 60947-2 standards. They are, the company says, currently the only UL489 MCB on the market with rated current up to and including 35 A for 480Y ...
A. An overcurrent device (typically a fast-acting fuse) that reduces the fault current to a magnitude substantially less than that obtainable in the same circuit if the current-limiting device wasn’t ...
This is the first of a two-part series on the processes used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. In Part 1, we’ll use a simplified power system to illustrate the ...
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 ...
A new supplement to the UL codes dictates all low-voltage control panels be rated for short-circuit current. Those who work in the electrical industry always support one common goal — the safe ...
