This is the second part of a two-part series on the methodologies used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. The first part, Short Circuit Current Duties of Circuit ...

What's the difference between a short-circuit current rating (SCCR) and an interrupting rating (IR)? If you're not sure, clearing up the confusion could be as simple as brushing up on your definitions ...

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 ...

A wide common mode input voltage range, from ground to within 2V of the supply voltage, ensures that the ZXCT1050 current monitor from Zetex Semiconductors will continue to provide accurate current ...

An RCBO continuously monitors electrical flow on an individual circuit. It will instantly trip if it detects: Earth Leakage (RCD Function): Protects users from electric shock and prevents potential ...

Trench-based silicon carbide power MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors) represent a dramatic improvement in the Figure of Merit (FOM) values of power conversion switching ...

Almost every meter you find today will have a continuity tester. Connect the probes and it will beep if there is a short and won’t if there isn’t. But where is the short? That’s another problem when ...

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 ...
