Short circuits are relatively common, but they can be dangerous and a warning sign of a possible electrical hazard, so it's important to know what short circuits are and how to prevent them in ...

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 ...

All electrical systems are susceptible to short circuits and the abnormal current levels they create. These currents can produce considerable thermal and mechanical stresses in electrical distribution ...

Oftentimes, the short circuit fault causes an extremely high level of current to flow; and (1) electrical equipment must be capable of withstanding the extreme mechanical and thermal stresses ...

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

How the short-circuit ruggedness of CoolSiC MOSFETs is achieved It is important to reduce the peak current of SiC MOSFETs during a short-circuit condition. This can be achieved by a more pronounced ...
