Circuit protection has become a crucial design consideration to protect sensitive applications against overcurrent conditions. In most applications, overcurrent and overtemperature conditions are an ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Anyone who's lived in a home or apartment has probably heard the terms "fuse box" or "circuit breaker" before. If you ever experienced a power ...

Benefits of an e-fuse solution. Optimal voltage range for e-fuse applications. Target applications for e-fuse devices. The trend toward higher bus voltages creates the need for a robust circuit ...

This is the second part of a two-part series on the methodologies used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. The first part, Short Circuit Current Duties of Circuit ...

This circuit monitors a DC fuse. Its LED lights continously when the fuse is intact but blinks is the fuse is broken. The fuse monitor circuit is designed for 12 volts but can be modified for other ...

Electrical overcurrents can not only damage systems, but also cause costly downtime. Fuses are said to be a great way to protect a battery energy storage system (BESS) simply and cost-effectively. In ...

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has added a new eFuse IC, “TCKE712BNL,” to its line-up of eFuse ICs for repeated use that support functions to protect power line circuits.
