Most modern power-supply control ICs offer built-in overcurrent or short-circuit protection. While some overcurrent-protection schemes are latching, others are nonlatching. When the overcurrent trip ...

Because overcurrent and overvoltage protection are often viewed as two unrelated elements of the circuit protection design process, protection strategies can result in costly multi-component solutions ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Reliability of the power-conversion system is a critical issue, especially at high power levels. Application areas that fall under this umbrella ...

In the not-so-distant past, electrical workers routinely racked out breakers in the normal course of their jobs. They did this with little concern or knowledge of the hazards to which they were ...
