An overload or short circuit in a fuse or mini circuit breaker can lead to undersupply or failure of an entire 24-V dc power-supply system. Selectivity protection using an electronic fuse offers a ...

Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...

In the quest for higher speed and lower costs, today’s modern electronics use increasingly dense integrated circuit technologies, whose sensitivity to surges creates difficult challenges for designers ...

Overvoltage protection of AC power lines is a common practice, which encompasses a variety of protection circuit solutions. Most designs are cost-driven and tend to use only the bare minimum of ...

Ethernet is one of the most commonly used communication protocols, and as a result, it has increased the exposure of devices to overvoltage events. The two most common causes of overvoltage events are ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe expands its range of electronic fuse devices with the introduction of the 40V TCKE6 series.

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...

Circuit breakers now sport advanced features that include remote control and operational status reporting. Engineers have long considered circuit protection a stable if somewhat unglamorous area.

The Circuit, Electronics and Digital Design Lab at Wilkes University is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to enhancing education and research in electronics, circuit design, and digital systems.

Residual current circuit breakers (RCCB) play a narrow but important role in electrical protection. They are frequently specified, often misunderstood, and regularly credited with capabilities they ...

Surge protection for an electrical panel controls how transient voltages enter and spread through branch circuits inside the panel, limiting internal equipment damage when external or switching surges ...
