Figure-1 shows the schematic diagram of the device. P1 is used to connect the 220V-AC input and the ON/OFF switch to the circuit. C1 is used to reduce the AC voltage. The value of the C1 also ...

The automobile is a tough venue for today’s electronics. Supply voltages can range from 12 to 16 V, depending on battery charge state. On top of that are the spikes and ac noise coming out of 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 ...

At a power-on cycle, inrush current, if not limited, can peak to tens of even hundreds of amps when capacitive load is present, thereby increasing the probability of failure and decreasing usable ...

Fault current limiters (FCLs) serve as essential protective devices within modern power systems, mitigating the potentially damaging effects of fault currents. By dynamically increasing their ...

CAMTEC is launching the second-generation AC current limiters. Due to their cooling system, they can be installed wall-by-wall with the other components. The company claims the new CAMTEC ESB001 ...

GridON’s Fault Current Limiter solution has been selected by the Energy Technologies Institute to be developed and tested in a £4m project aiming to reduce the impact of fault currents on electricity ...

An SCR topology transmogrifies into BJT two-wire precision current source with a self-resetting fault-current limiter.
