This is the first of a two-part series on the processes used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. In Part 1, we’ll use a simplified power system to illustrate the ...

The circuit protection market is filled with such a wide variety of fuses today that the previously accepted method of specifying fuses is just not enough. Instead, the proper application of fuses in ...

The increasing use of integrated circuits in modern electronic systems has resulted in a growing awareness about lightning overvoltage hazard. The integrated circuits, especially large-scale ...

If you have ever read advanced textbooks or papers about electronics, you may have been surprised to see the use of complex numbers used in the analysis of AC circuits. A complex number has two parts: ...

Fuses protect against overcurrent events by melting their elements and opening the circuit. Fuses must be applied at or below their specified voltage rating, which differs between ac and dc current.

Advancements in power TVS diodes have made them an effective alternative to metal oxide varistors (MOVs) in protecting AC and DC power supplies from power line surges and indirect lightning strikes.

Researchers at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia have investigated whether the temperature coefficient of the short circuit current in perovskite-silicon ...

Cases of fire in Delhi-NCR, due to faulty air conditioner, are on the rise. Experts share causes, and ways to prevent accidents by safeguarding your property. With the National Capital Territory (NCT) ...
