Overcurrent protection is just what it sounds like: protection against currents higher than a circuit is rated for. Every circuit in your home has a rating, determined by the circuit’s ...

Selecting the proper overcurrent protection for a specific circuit can become complicated, however, because many special cases deviate from this basic rule. For example, several rules allow tap ...

Overcurrent protection must be provided for each phase conductor at the point where the conductors receive their supply [Sec. 240.21] except as permitted by (A) through (H). Conductors Except as ...

Overcurrent protection. When operating solid-state relays, a common problem is the handling of fast overcurrent or short circuit events in the range of 20 A/μs up to 100 A/μs. Isolation issues often ...

Three-stage discharge overcurrent protection assures greater safety! An overcharge detection voltage accuracy of ±15mV places these ICs in the industry’s high-accuracy top class!

Power converters are typically designed to protect against undesirable fault scenarios. For example, if too much current is being drawn on the converter output, overcurrent protection may engage. This ...

The S-82A2A/B and S-82B2A/B Series of 2-Serial Cell Battery Protection ICs, the World’s First (*1) with High-Accuracy Overcurrent Detection.

Where resettable overcurrent protection is a requirement, PolySwitch polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) ... If a short duration event occurs — for example, ...

The protection scheme uses a small, integrated, overcurrent detector (OCD) to provide a fast-acting, noise-immune overcurrent signal. This signal ensures fast MOSFET shutdown and robust protection.

The device may also be placed after the MOV. Many equipment manufacturers prefer protection circuits combining resettable overcurrent protection devices with upstream fail-safe protection. In this ...
