Circuit protection has proven useful, but meeting the increasingly sophisticated industrial and commercial requirements can be a challenge. An overload or short circuit in a fuse or mini circuit ...

This product is featured in EDN’s Hot 100 products of 2014. See all 100 here. Protecting the precious designs, that engineers create with their blood, sweat and tears, is a must and should be ...

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 ...

It features a standard 2.5-sq-mm screw-clamping system (22 to 12 awg), and accepts a standard 5 20-mm fuse. Various LED options provide blown fuse indication across a voltage range of 10 to 250 V. The ...

When it comes to overcurrent protection of electronic equipment, fuses have long been the standard solution. They come in a wide variety of ratings and mounting styles to fit virtually any application ...

Electronic diagnostic module protects against short circuits, reduces downtime. When overloads and short circuits occur, there’s always a tradeoff between the power supply shutting down the entire 24 ...

In Part 1, we saw why we must separate overload protection from fault and short circuit protection for motor circuits. But correctly sizing these different devices can be confusing. And if you follow ...

Motors differ from other types of loads in one important way: The motor needs much more current to start than to run. This temporary, but significant, inrush current is what complicates motor circuit ...
