Understanding the overcurrent trilogy will help you protect your circuits. Circuit overcurrent protection encompasses overload, short-circuit, and ground-fault protection. NEC Art. 100 defines ...

For modern distribution protection, Negative Phase Sequence (NPS) Protection is often relegated in favor of common elements such as Overcurrent (OC) or Earth Fault (EF), but NPS is an incredibly ...

Solid-state overcurrent-protection ICs such as USB switches and card-slot power switches offer a simple and robust protection for pins at risk of overloads and short circuits. Such switches, however, ...

Overcurrent protection of conductors is an idea so simple that it is almost self-evident. Excessive current in a conductor results in rapid temperature rise, which damages insulation and creates ...

POWER OVER ETHERNET (POE) enabled devices and their electronic components are designed for operation within specified current and voltage ratings. If these ratings are exceeded due to short-circuit or ...

When it comes to overcurrent protection of electronic equipment, fuses have long been the standard solution. They come in a wide variety of ratings and mounting styles to fit virtually any application ...
