There are many circuits for low voltage regulators. For higher voltages, such as supplies for valve circuits, the situation is different. That’s why we decided to design this simple regulator that can ...

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 8. This circuit builds on a previous idea in which the addition of an optocoupler to a microcontroller output converted a “dumb” ...

High-voltage batteries can fail if a short circuit happens. A MOSFET makes them safer, lasts longer & works better in e-bikes ...

I continue to be surprised by how many equipment designers are confused by UL circuit protection standards. In trying to meet conflicting standards, engineers may actually decrease the level of ...

Now that autos are moving toward high-powered battery voltage, the industry is turning new attention toward making sure the flow can stop on a dime when needed. Power management company Eaton Corp.

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 ...

These breakers come in two versions — one with magnetic trip element for short-circuit protection and the other with thermal and magnetic trip elements for overload and short-circuit protection. They ...

The circuit protection market is filled with such a wide variety of fuses today that the previously accepted method of specifying fuses is just not enough. Instead, the proper application of fuses in ...

SMPS is the abbreviation of switching mode power supply, a kind of high-frequency power conversion device and a power supply device. Its function is to convert a level of voltage to the voltage or ...
