Puzzled by choosing circuit protection devices? Follow these guidelines and your electrical system will fall into place. Is it sufficient to select protective devices based entirely on their ability ...

The A_S-1WR and B_LS-1WR series of 1-W SIP dc/dc converters feature continuous short circuit protection and are enclosed in a 0.77 x 0.37 x 0.24-in. package. They feature a continuous output short ...

If a motor isn't adequately protected, a short circuit will likely result in premature replacement. Then there's the problem of nuisance tripping upon initial start-up because the magnetic setting of ...

For the PDF version of this article, including diagrams and/or equations, click here. In any off-line flyback converter design, it is possible that the output ...

This voltage regulator delivers smooth control of a constant voltage from 0 to 8 V. It protects the load against short circuits and indicates connection, overload, and output level. The series chain ...

There are many circuits for low voltage regulators. For higher voltages, such as supplies for valve circuits, the situation is different. That’s why we decided to design this simple regulator that can ...

Now that autos are moving toward high-powered battery voltage, the industry is turning new attention toward making sure the flow can stop on a dime when needed. Power management company Eaton Corp.

When overloads and short circuits occur, there’s always a tradeoff between the power supply shutting down the entire 24 VDC supply and keeping load circuits that aren’t impacted by the failure ...

Circuit breakers now sport advanced features that include remote control and operational status reporting. Engineers have long considered circuit protection a stable if somewhat unglamorous area.

Residual current circuit breakers (RCCB) play a narrow but important role in electrical protection. They are frequently specified, often misunderstood, and regularly credited with capabilities they ...

Surge protection for an electrical panel controls how transient voltages enter and spread through branch circuits inside the ...
