This voltage regulator delivers smooth control of a constant voltage from 0 to 8 V. It protects the load against short circuits and indicates connection, overload, and output level. The series chain ...

Motors and their associated equipment must be protected against both overload and overcurrent (short circuit or ground fault). This function is usually split, with ...

Circuit breakers are used in a variety of ways. They are mounted in panelboards to protect branch circuit wiring, and they are built into equipment to protect it. With this range of applications, it's ...

Self-protecting starters (SPSs) were first introduced to the U.S. in 1987. However, SPSs have been used internationally for several years. Recently, several manufacturers and private labelers have ...

Enhancing motor-drive apps with added safety, the ACPL-785J isolation amplifiers include both short-circuit and overload detection and allow direct measurement of motor phase currents in power ...

In Part 1, we saw why we must separate overload protection from fault and short circuit protection for motor circuits. But correctly sizing these different devices can be confusing. And if you follow ...

It features a standard 2.5-sq-mm screw-clamping system (22 to 12 awg), and accepts a standard 5 20-mm fuse. Various LED options provide blown fuse indication across a voltage range of 10 to 250 V. The ...

San Jose, Calif.—Avago Technologies announced a new series of competitively priced isolation amplifiers with short circuit and overload detection. Based on optical insulation technology and ...
