Figure 1 This 4 to 18V-input, 12V-output SEPIC has short-circuit protection. Figure 2 The short-circuit input and output current for the circuit of Figure 1 differ at different voltages.

Q. What is the Code rule for sizing short circuit and ground fault protection for a single motor branch circuit? A. The motor branch circuit, short circuit and ground fault protective device must ...

If a motor isn't adequately protected, a short circuit will likely result in premature replacement. Then there's the problem of nuisance tripping upon initial start-up because the magnetic setting of ...

Automotive applications need “smarter” drivers for their switches, which handle loads ranging from a fraction of an ampere to several amperes. Not only are these smart chips costly, but many times, ...

TO BE READ BY ALL ELECTROSCHEMATICS ENTHUSIASTS! Much needs to be said about this oft neglected subject. We would never even think of connecting the utility mains to our house without proper circuit ...
