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 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 ...

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 current rating — The maximum short circuit current a component, assembly, or equipment can safely withstand when protected by a specific overcurrent protective device, or for a specified ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
