This voltage regulator delivers smooth control of a constant voltage from 0 to 8 V. It protects the load against short circuits and indicates connection, overload, and output level. The series chain ...

An overload or short circuit in a fuse or mini circuit breaker can lead to undersupply or failure of an entire 24-V dc power-supply system. Selectivity protection using an electronic fuse offers a ...

Since the earliest versions of indoor LED light bulbs were developed, their designers have faced a variety of technical challenges. These include AC-to-DC power conversion, thermal design/heat-sinking ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. offers two new series of thin film chip fuses. The Vishay Sfernice S2F and S3F devices are designed to ensure circuit continuity with minimal resistance and reliable ...

Designers of early indoor LED light bulbs faced numerous technical hurdles, including AC-to-DC conversion, thermal heat-sinking, constraints imposed by current bulb sizes, electrical transients, and ...

Electric drives require effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Both phenomena cause motor disruption and create a risk of damage to the motor. This could lead to a potentially ...

Art. 430, Part III provides the requirements for motor and branch-circuit overload protection. Because of inrush current, overload protection is separate from overcurrent and ground fault protection ...

From traditional fuses to eFuses, understanding the advantages, limitations, and use cases of each technology helps engineers ...

Circuit breakers now sport advanced features that include remote control and operational status reporting. Engineers have long considered circuit protection a stable if somewhat unglamorous area.

Overloading electrical circuits is easier than you may think, especially around the holidays. At best, overloading the circuit is inconvenient, but it can also be dangerous. So, if you see the warning ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has expanded its circuit protection portfolio with two new thin-film chip fuse families aimed at designers grappling with higher power densities and ...
