Figure 1 This 4 to 18V-input, 12V-output SEPIC has short-circuit protection. Figure 2 The short-circuit input and output current for the circuit of Figure 1 differ at different voltages.

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 ...
