An additional circuit connected between the load side of a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and ground provides overvoltage protection against long-duration overvoltages, e.g., where the line ...

The Motor control ICs of the TDA514x family have been provided with an on-chip current limiter circuit. The current limit value, however, can not be set externally. Therefore the need came-up for an ...

A previous Idea for Design described a technique for protecting the “pass” transistor in a current-limiting circuit against excessive power dissipation (see “Fault-Protected Current Limiter Keeps Its ...

The circuit was designed to create a DC power supply that will be rated with 13.8 V and 20 A while having a current limiter and short circuit protection. By producing 13.8 Volts at around 20 Amps, the ...

Here at Hackaday we really like to feature projects that push the limits of what’s possible, or ones that feature some new and exciting technology that nobody has ever seen before. So what’s so ...
