The voltage across inductive and capacitive circuit elements requires a current that varies with time. AC currents vary sinusoidally with time. DC currents, on the other hand, don't vary with time, so ...

I see techs in the field get the most frustrated when they have a low-voltage short they can’t seem to locate. The challenge techs face with low voltage diagnosis is a combination of poor process and ...

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

Short circuit faults are called shunt faults. An open-circuit condition is known as a series fault. Any phase/circuit to ground condition is called a ground fault. Among all faults, a balanced 3-phase ...

Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) are crucial to cut off the power supply automatically when there is an overload or short circuit. Having one is not enough, though it has to suit your power load.
