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.

If a motor isn't adequately protected, a short circuit will likely result in premature replacement. Then there's the problem of nuisance tripping upon initial start-up because the magnetic setting of ...

For the PDF version of this article, including diagrams and/or equations, click here. In any off-line flyback converter design, it is possible that the output ...

Motors and their associated equipment must be protected against both overload and overcurrent (short circuit or ground fault). This function is usually split, with ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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