But what IS a short circuit? A short circuit happens when an electrical current flows outside of its intended circuit with no resistance to the flow.

Short circuit current ratings should not be overlooked during panel design. Negative impacts can occur to production, equipment and, worst case, plant personnel.

Short-circuit currents represent a tremendous amount of destructive energy, which can be released through electrical systems under fault conditions. Baseline short-circuit studies should be performed ...

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 ...

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 ...

With its wide common-mode sense range of 0 V to within 2 V of the supply voltage applied, the ZXCT1051 current monitor from Zetex enables true short circuit current monitoring. With its wide ...

An application of the methods of irreversible thermodynamics to the fluxes in plant xylem is examined, and an expression is derived for the electric current present when a length of stem is short ...
