Delays in short-circuit protection triggers require careful selection of the magnetics and overcurrent threshold values to prevent component stress. In any off-line flyback converter design, it is ...

Transistor VT2 provides short-circuit protection to the load, with red LED D4 indicting an overload. (D2 blows out simultaneously with an overload.) Short-circuit current does not exceed 38 mA.

The near instantaneous response is appropriate for printed-circuit boards and sudden power surges as from short circuits or emergency shutdowns from crowbartype overvoltage monitors.

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

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 ...

Designing the reference input circuit for an RF system can prove tricky. One challenge is maintaining the phase noise performance of the input clock while meeting the protection, buffering and ...

This Design Idea shows a way to safeguard a boost converter from short circuits and reverse polarity application. Figure 2 A simple boost converter with added protection circuitry (inside the dashed ...

The NEC requires protection to personnel and electrical systems against damage during short circuit conditions. Generally, circuit breaker ratings are determined for the worst-case fault situation.

Power Integrations launches gate drivers for 62 mm SiC and IGBT modules with fast short-circuit protection, rated for 1200 V and 1700 V applications.

South African electrical enclosure specialist Power Process Systems (PPS) has successfully completed the design, fabrication, and commissioning of a 4000A containerised distribution boards for a ...
