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 ...

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments USB Type-C is revolutionizing the power-charging arena, but building in circuit protection becomes challenging due to the small connector size ...

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.

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.

Understanding the role of short-circuit current is critical to the reliability of your electrical system and to the safety of the people who maintain it. When designing or modifying a distribution ...

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.

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 ...

If the power source has reversed polarity, some of the solutions proposed protect the device by shorting the power supply. If the power supply does not have embedded short circuit protection, the ...

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