A new method of circuit protection allows designers greater flexibility and increased reliability while reducing the time to market. The long-accepted assumption that hundreds of amperes and thousands ...

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 ...

The multi-wire branch is here to stay; so is ground fault protection. But we should unite these technologies only when it’s a good match. Ground-fault protection and the multi-wire branch circuit ...

What's driving the need for protection devices and the challenges of implementing them. Traditional types of protection devices. Different approaches to protection, including surge stoppers. The ...

The circuit protection market is filled with such a wide variety of fuses today that the previously accepted method of specifying fuses is just not enough. Instead, the proper application of fuses in ...

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 ...

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 ...

My introduction to circuit protection came at the tender age of eight. Being a curious lad with an inventive – and apparently self-destructive – bent, I decided to make my mother a lamp. I put a hose ...

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...

Nvidia’s RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs are facing serious melting connector cables issues, a repeat of the incidents involving RTX ...
