Traditional synchronous boost converters offer little to no protection against short-circuit events at the output. Due to the boost converter’s topology, when the output is shorted to ground, a direct ...

The A_S-1WR and B_LS-1WR series of 1-W SIP dc/dc converters feature continuous short circuit protection and are enclosed in a 0.77 x 0.37 x 0.24-in. package. They feature a continuous output short ...

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 ...

For the PDF version of this article, including diagrams and/or equations, click here. In any off-line flyback converter design, it is possible that the output ...

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 ...

According to the company, when combined with Breaktor circuit protection technology, which combines current switching and reconfigurable bi-directional short circuit protection with fast tripping, ...

Residual current circuit breakers (RCCB) play a narrow but important role in electrical protection. They are frequently specified, often misunderstood, and regularly credited with capabilities they ...

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 breaker keeps tripping is a warning, not a nuisance. Repeated trips can signal overloads, wiring faults, ground faults, or coordination problems, and misreading the cause risks overheating, ...
