This is the first of a two-part series on the processes used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. In Part 1, we’ll use a simplified power system to illustrate the ...

CMOS current reference circuits play a critical role in modern integrated circuits by providing a stable and reproducible current source that remains unaffected by variations in supply voltage, ...

Alternating current circuits improve the versatility and usefulness of electric power systems. In the late 1800s, Nikola Tesla demonstrated phenomena with alternating current (AC) electricity that ...

The fuse breaks the circuit if a fault in an appliance causes too much current to flow. This protects the wiring and the appliance if something goes wrong. The fuse contains a piece of wire that melts ...

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 ...

The new e-fuse from Microchip Technology suits virtually any high-voltage power-distribution system. As electric vehicles are equipped with 400- to 800-V battery packs, the power systems under the ...
