From traditional fuses to eFuses, understanding the advantages, limitations, and use cases of each technology helps engineers ...

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

An RCBO continuously monitors electrical flow on an individual circuit. It will instantly trip if it detects: Earth Leakage (RCD Function): Protects users from electric shock and prevents potential ...

Since the earliest versions of indoor LED light bulbs were developed, their designers have faced a variety of technical challenges. These include AC-to-DC power conversion, thermal design/heat-sinking ...

In this EC&M Tech Talk Randy Barnett discusses in five different sections the concepts and rules of overcurrent protection. Overcurrent protective devices include the fuses and circuit breakers ...

Electrical overcurrents can not only damage systems, but also cause costly downtime. Fuses are said to be a great way to protect a battery energy storage system (BESS) simply and cost-effectively. In ...

Nisshinbo Micro Devices has launched the NB7142 and NB7143 series Li-Ion battery protection ICs, intended for applications requiring high-precision overcurrent and short-circuit detection, such as ...

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 ...
