From traditional fuses to eFuses, understanding the advantages, limitations, and use cases of each technology helps engineers ...

Analog input protection for high performance signal chains is often a pain point for system designers. There is typically a significant trade-off between analog performance (leakage, on resistance, ...

Medium-voltage motors are critical to a facility’s power system. Not only are they expensive, but their failure can have crippling, long-lasting impacts on a plant’s operation. As such, properly ...

To be competitive, some electrical contractors often supply low-voltage (LV) service entrance switchboards and switchgear that meet the minimum safety requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC ...

Most switching power-supply controllers provide non-latching fault protection. Satisfying a requirement for a latchoff response to a fault often requires the addition of excessive and redundant ...

For modern distribution protection, Negative Phase Sequence (NPS) Protection is often relegated in favor of common elements such as Overcurrent (OC) or Earth Fault (EF), but NPS is an incredibly ...

A DC/DC converter’s primary function is to protect the application. In the simplest level, the protection consists of matching the load to the primary power supply and stabilizing the output voltage ...
