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.

It is not always realized that, when a short-circuit occurs in a circuit supplied via a Type 78xx regulator, this and similar types of regulator can not suddenly cut off. When a short-circuit occurs a ...

The paper presents a self-recovering short-circuit protection circuit for RF class-D power amplifier whose output is connected to a 50Ohm load in 24V power supply. The circuit can make the output MOS ...

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.

According to the short-circuit characteristic of SiC MOSFET that the short-circuit withstand time decreases with the increase of DC bus voltage, a short-circuit protection circuit based on ...

Circuit protection, at its simplest, is the intentional addition of a ‘weak link’ in an electrical circuit. This link will be broken in the event of a fault – whether that’s high temperature, ...

Circuit protection has proven useful, but meeting the increasingly sophisticated industrial and commercial requirements can be a challenge. An overload or short circuit in a fuse or mini circuit ...

Combining a classic Class-B design with short-circuit protection and up to 50W output, this durable power amplifier from 1994 is perfect for audio lovers.

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 ...
