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 ...

This circuit provides latching and high-speed overcurrent protection for power-factor corrected (PFC) boost converters operating at dc voltages to 380 V. This circuit provides latching and high-speed ...

Generally, the Art. 210 requirements for branch circuits are prerequisites for applying requirements found elsewhere. This fact is exemplified by the overcurrent protection requirements [Sec. 210.20].

Branch-circuit conductors must have overcurrent protection in accordance with Sec. 240.4, and the overcurrent protection device rating must not exceed the rating marked on the appliance [Sec. 422.11].

Once an engineer has designed the audio circuit of an amplifier, it would be nice to think that most of their task is complete. However, from a system perspective, that is far from true. At the very ...

When I moved into my current home, the kitchen had been recently remodeled. Great! That meant it had at least two 20-amp circuits to handle all the kitchen appliances, countertop and wall receptacles ...

A new line of Raychem Circuit Protection PolySwitch devices provides resettable overcurrent protection for car and heavy-truck wire harnesses. The PolySwitch BD280 bladed contact device has a 2.8-mm ...

Toshiba Electronics has added the TB67H451FNG to its line-up of single channel brushed DC motor driver ICs. Housed in an HSOP8 package, the IC features non-latching overcurrent detection. The IC can ...
