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 ...

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 ...

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. An overcurrent device (typically a fast-acting fuse) that reduces the fault current to a magnitude substantially less than that obtainable in the same circuit if the current-limiting device wasn’t ...

Designed and dual-rated for AC and DC applications, the Eaton FAZ-NA and FAZ-NA-L series current-limiting miniature circuit breakers from AutomationDirect offer protection for application with up to ...

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 ...

Constant current limiting circuits are commonplace, but sometimes a constant power limiting function is desired instead. This can be because downstream loads, like DC/DC converters, present a constant ...
