This application note presents different types of overvoltage protection devices for solid-state relays. The document also provides suggested recommendations on their selection and use with the Vishay ...

The objective of protective relays and protective schemes is to protect electrical equipment such as transformers, lines, cables, bus bars, etc. during abnormal system conditions. Hence, protective ...

A range of manufacturing and production processes rely on current-operated relays to provide a continuously adjustable trip-current setting. They are able to protect mechanical apparatus from jam-up ...

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 ...

Repurposing outdated and/or unused electronics not only offers creative and effective ways to mitigate the environmental impact of e-waste, but also inspires a change in mindset. If you are like me, ...

The ability to turn on loads in a controlled manner is important in applications where the power budget is limited. Hard switching a load can cause the input power rail to droop and result in a fault.

Medium-voltage motors are critical to a facility’s power system. Not only are they expensive, but their failure can have crippling, long-lasting impacts on a plant’s operation. As such, properly ...
