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 ...

The methods of protecting electronics from circuitry failures and managing inrush current at power on has evolved significantly from a simple fuse and maybe a P-channel FET to much more sophisticated ...

Circuit protection has become a crucial design consideration to protect sensitive applications against overcurrent conditions. In most applications, overcurrent and overtemperature conditions are an ...

The MAX17852 14-channel, high-voltage, ASIL-D data-acquisition system from Maxim Integrated Products offers the highest level of safety for voltage, current, temperature, and communication, along with ...

A new 0ADA Series of fuses has been released by Bel Fuse-Circuit Protection in ceramic cartridge and pigtail, axial leaded AC and DC ranges. The company is part of the Bel group (NASDAQ: BELFA and ...

IN THE future, homes will use electricity much more sensibly than they do now: turning the lights off automatically when no one is around; adjusting the heating regularly to suit a householder’s daily ...

The rapid expansion of high voltage direct current (HVDC) grids, driven by the massive integration of renewable energy sources, has underscored the critical role of DC circuit breakers (DCCBs) and ...

Note: This article is based on the 2011 NEC. Overcurrent exists when current exceeds the rating of equipment or the ampacity of a conductor. This can be due to an overload, short circuit, or ground ...
