Delays in short-circuit protection triggers require careful selection of the magnetics and overcurrent threshold values to prevent component stress.

Industrial facilities commonly use variable-frequency drives (VFDs) to control the speed at which alternating current motors operate. Let’s examine a couple of typical scenarios commonly encountered ...

The circuit adapts this concept for cases where a microcontroller is either not required or inappropriate. It also adds short-circuit load protection to an even “dumber” driver such as the ...

Often, the ground-fault short circuit current available on a 20A feeder circuit is sufficient to trip the ground-fault protection of a building main circuit breaker, which makes it imperative that the ...

If the power source has reversed polarity, some of the solutions proposed protect the device by shorting the power supply. If the power supply does not have embedded short circuit protection, the ...

Further, they also provide some output short circuit protection. C2 and C3 are added, which will further reduce the shoot-through. The PWM output from two-quadrant driver being inverted, a common ...

"They really are just taking advantage of the fact that people are really busy, they have very crowded lives, and companies are using that fact to hold on to resources," said White House Domestic ...
