Electronic diagnostic module protects against short circuits, reduces downtime. When overloads and short circuits occur, there’s always a tradeoff between the power supply shutting down the entire 24 ...

Don’t confuse overload protection with short-circuit and ground-fault protection.

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.

An overload is a condition in which equipment or conductors carry current exceeding their rated ampacity. An example is plugging two 12.5A (1,500W) hair dryers into a 20A branch circuit. A short ...
