For the PDF version of this article, click here. Protecting power transistors against overcurrent failure has always been a challenging issue in power circuit design. In order to protect against even ...

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

This circuit provides latching and high-speed overcurrent protection for power-factor corrected (PFC) boost converters operating at dc voltages to 380 V. Overcurrent damage of PFC front-end boost ...

The usual way of preventing a small motor from drawing too much current is to install overcurrent protection in the form of a circuit breaker or some other kind of limiter. But installations that ...

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 ...
