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 240-volt service powers heavy-duty appliances like ovens, air conditioners, water heaters and electric dryers. If something goes wrong in that panel, it may cause those systems to fail, damage the ...

Benefits of an e-fuse solution. Optimal voltage range for e-fuse applications. Target applications for e-fuse devices. The trend toward higher bus voltages creates the need for a robust circuit ...

In Part 1, we looked at how to size a branch circuit and walked through a simple example. So if you’re sizing a feeder, why don’t you do it the same way? Except in cases where a feeder is also ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Circuit protection devices are safety components that are used in every electronic device and system, ranging from the smallest smartphones and wearables to high-reliability applications like ...
