Do you understand enough about overcurrent protection to be confident you get it right every time?

While fast response time in overcurrent protection circuits is generally considered optimal, the implications on reliability are neither broadly understood nor readily quantified within the power ...

Overcurrent protection is one of the most important concepts in electrical safety. This is what you need to know.

This circuit provides latching and high-speed overcurrent protection for power-factor corrected (PFC) boost converters operating at dc voltages to 380 V.

Basic circuit protection needs The selection of circuit protection devices for solar energy circuits is one area where designers can get into trouble. These circuits may be used in systems ranging ...

A variety of circuit protection options are available to help guard drone batteries against over-current and over-temperature conditions, including metal hybrid PPTC with thermal activation (MHP-TA) ...

A key feature of the NB7123 is the use of high-side MOSFETs which allow the ground of the protection circuit to be connected ...

Guest columnist Faraz Hasan, marketing and business development manager at Tyco Electronics Circuit Protection Products says that LEDs can require overcurrent protection despite built-in safety ...

2) Incorporate a mechanical device into the circuit (e.g., a circuit breaker) that would perform the same protective function, but that could be reset any number of times rather than being replaced.
