A variety of circuit protection devices can be used to help protect LCD screens from damage caused by excessive current or voltage transients. Overcurrent protection may take the form of a fuse or a ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Protecting power transistors against overcurrent failure has always been a challenging issue in power circuit design. In order to protect against even ...

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 ...

Circuit protection has become a crucial design consideration to protect sensitive applications against overcurrent conditions. In most applications, overcurrent and overtemperature conditions are an ...

Changes to the 2011 NEC affect how you supply power to a structure and protect the conductors carrying that power. Most of these changes are subtle, so understanding the new requirements isn’t ...

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 ...

This 'back-to-the-basics' video that explains how non-directional overcurrent works. It shows the difference between a fuse and an overcurrent protections scheme with current transformer, relay and ...

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 ...
