The circuit is designed for power supply protection by limiting the amount of maximum output current to prevent any further damage to take place inside the power supply as well as the external circuit ...

Hot-swap circuits are among those measures put in place to protect equipment or personnel, or both. Some power supplies, for example, have built-in and adjustable current limiting (standard in ...

Adding a clamp circuit to the well known current-limiter protects the "pass" transistor from over-currents when load faults occur. Most readers are probably familiar with two-terminal current-limiting ...

A fault current limiter (FCL) is a protective device that reduces excessive fault currents in electrical systems. It enhances safety, protects equipment, and helps maintain system stability by ...

Abstract: In high voltage AC transmission system (HVAC), short-circuit fault is highly likely to generate short-circuit fault current including the transient component (SCTC), which generates a great ...

Here at Hackaday we really like to feature projects that push the limits of what’s possible, or ones that feature some new and exciting technology that nobody has ever seen before. So what’s so ...

A previous Idea for Design described a technique for protecting the “pass” transistor in a current-limiting circuit against excessive power dissipation (see “Fault-Protected Current Limiter Keeps Its ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an analysis of the inrush load current and a design of the inrush current limiter circuit for a low-voltage DC (LVDC) distribution system. Due to the absence of a ...
