This simple circuit adds short-circuit load protection to a basic driver such as the output of a simple logic gate, while allowing it to control a high-power load operating at a much-higher voltage ...

This voltage regulator delivers smooth control of a constant voltage from 0 to 8 V. It protects the load against short circuits and indicates connection, overload, and output level. The series chain ...

If a motor isn't adequately protected, a short circuit will likely result in premature replacement. Then there's the problem of nuisance tripping upon initial start-up because the magnetic setting of ...

Now that autos are moving toward high-powered battery voltage, the industry is turning new attention toward making sure the flow can stop on a dime when needed. Power management company Eaton Corp.

SMPS is the abbreviation of switching mode power supply, a kind of high-frequency power conversion device and a power supply device. Its function is to convert a level of voltage to the voltage or ...

Ispringen, the DG11 series power entry modules from SCHURTER in the Rutronik portfolio are receiving some thought-out ...

TO BE READ BY ALL ELECTROSCHEMATICS ENTHUSIASTS! Much needs to be said about this oft neglected subject. We would never even think of connecting the utility mains to our house without proper circuit ...

Electric drives require effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Both phenomena cause motor disruption and create a risk of damage to the motor. This could lead to a potentially ...

Guest columnist Faraz Hasan, marketing and business development manager at Tyco Electronics Circuit Protection Products says that LEDs can require overcurrent protection despite built-in safety ...

Note: This article is based on the 2011 NEC. Article 430 provides the requirements for electric motors while Art. 440 offers amended and additional requirements for hermetic motors, such as those used ...
