Motor Calculations — Part 1 Don’t confuse overload protection with short-circuit and ground-fault protection.

Conductor overload protection is not required where circuit interruption would create a hazard (e.g., a fire pump). Short-circuit protection is still required. Not over 800A You can use the next ...

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 ...

Transistor VT2 provides short-circuit protection to the load, with red LED D4 indicting an overload. (D2 blows out simultaneously with an overload.) Short-circuit current does not exceed 38 mA.

Electric drives require effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Both phenomena cause motor disruption and create a risk of damage to the motor. This could lead to a potentially ...

San Jose, Calif.—Avago Technologies announced a new series of competitively priced isolation amplifiers with short circuit and overload detection. Based on optical insulation technology and ...

The power distribution system essentially consists of a fuse that melts in case of overload, or a short circuit protects the circuit. Contactors switch on and off the power at the rated current.

Protecting a power supply and its load from each other’s faults requires components and functions such as the fuse, undervoltage lockout, crowbars, and clamps.

You want to make sure you are not putting too much of a load on the circuit," Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District Fire Marshal Rob Rappaport said. He recommends low energy LED lights.

Diodes Incorporated has released the AP9234L IC specifically designed to provide a high-accuracy, single-chip solution for one-cell lithium-ion or lithium-polymer rechargeable battery packs. These ...
