Short-circuit currents represent a tremendous amount of destructive energy, which can be released through electrical systems under fault conditions. Baseline short-circuit studies should be performed ...

High-voltage batteries can fail if a short circuit happens. A MOSFET makes them safer, lasts longer & works better in e-bikes ...

Compliance with NEC 110.10 is critical for safety. We all want safe designs, but the engineer responsible for a UPS installation may not always understand how to accommodate the UL listing unique to ...

A bolted short circuit occurs in the series R-L circuit of the given figure with V = 30 kV, X = 10Ω , R = 0.9Ω, and with maximum dc offset. The circuit breaker opens 3 cycles after fault inception.

With its wide common-mode sense range of 0 V to within 2 V of the supply voltage applied, the ZXCT1051 current monitor from Zetex enables true short circuit current monitoring. With its wide ...

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 ...
