Understanding the overcurrent trilogy will help you protect your circuits. Circuit overcurrent protection encompasses overload, short-circuit, and ground-fault protection. NEC Art. 100 defines ...

Overcurrent protection of conductors is an idea so simple that it is almost self-evident. Excessive current in a conductor results in rapid temperature rise, which damages insulation and creates ...

This paper discusses about the integrated overcurrent/overvoltage protection device that helps protect telecommunications equipments. With the advancement in ...

The usual way of preventing a small motor from drawing too much current is to install overcurrent protection in the form of a circuit breaker or some other kind of limiter. But installations that ...

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 ...

Solid-state overcurrent-protection ICs such as USB switches and card-slot power switches offer a simple and robust protection for pins at risk of overloads and short circuits. Such switches, however, ...

AutomationDirect announces the release of a new White Paper, “Group Motor Protection”, that explains how the usual way of preventing a small motor from drawing too much current is to install ...

There are limitations to older circuit protection solutions that use Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes. Responding to this situation, completely new transient current suppressors utilize ...
