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 ...

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 ...

There are many circuits for low voltage regulators. For higher voltages, such as supplies for valve circuits, the situation is different. That’s why we decided to design this simple regulator that can ...

The global demand for green energy sources is driving strong market growth for solar power systems. Although a great deal of development work is still focused on making PV (photovoltaic) energy ...

A typical low-voltage variable-frequency drive. Industrial facilities commonly use variable-frequency drives (VFDs) to control the speed at which alternating current motors operate. Let’s examine a ...

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.

Circuit breakers now sport advanced features that include remote control and operational status reporting. Engineers have long considered circuit protection a stable if somewhat unglamorous area.

What's the difference between a short-circuit current rating (SCCR) and an interrupting rating (IR)? If you're not sure, clearing up the confusion could be as simple as brushing up on your definitions ...

South African electrical enclosure specialist Power Process Systems (PPS) has successfully completed the design, fabrication, and commissioning of a 4000A containerised distribution boards for a ...
