Now that autos are moving toward high-powered battery voltage, the industry is turning new attention toward making sure the flow can stop on a dime when needed. Power management company Eaton Corp.

Crowbar circuits have long been the go-to safeguard against overvoltage conditions, prized for their simplicity and ...

This voltage regulator delivers smooth control of a constant voltage from 0 to 8 V. It protects the load against short circuits and indicates connection, overload, and output level. The series chain ...

Traditional synchronous boost converters offer little to no protection against short-circuit events at the output. Due to the boost converter’s topology, when the output is shorted to ground, a direct ...

A German research team has developed a semiconductor-based protection concept tailored to renewable energy systems that forces a permanent short circuit in less than 1 millisecond in the event of a ...

Benefits of an e-fuse solution. Optimal voltage range for e-fuse applications. Target applications for e-fuse devices. The trend toward higher bus voltages creates the need for a robust circuit ...

Overload devices protect motors, motor control equipment, and motor branch-circuit conductors against excessive heating due to motor overloads and failure to start, but not against overcurrent (e.g., ...
