Short-Circuit Protection While current-mode control offers a built-in means to shut off the MOSFET on a cycle-by-cycle basis, there is often a secondary protection mechanism.

During a short circuit, the peak current in L 1, which decreases because of the limited number of switch cycles, and the peak current in L 2 sum up to equal the peak current in the switch, which is ...

Fig. 2. One-line diagram of simplified industrial power system. Figure 2 (above) is a one-line diagram of a simplified industrial power system we’ll use to illustrate the ANSI methodologies to find ...

Eaton used the Detroit auto show last month to showcase Breaktor as a piece of its growing EV business. Eaton launched its eMobility unit in 2018 with an initial investment of $500 million, and it ...

Transistor VT2 provides short-circuit protection to the load, with red LED D4 indicting an overload. (D2 blows out simultaneously with an overload.) Short-circuit current does not exceed 38 mA.

The device may also be placed after the MOV. Many equipment manufacturers prefer protection circuits combining resettable overcurrent protection devices with upstream fail-safe protection. In this ...

The new SITOP PSE200U electronic diagnostic module from Siemens Industry Automation Division constantly monitors up to four 24 VDC load circuits for overloads and short circuits. “Today’s ...
