(Note: Part 1 of this article examined the typical lab setup and powering the circuit under test. Click here to read Part 1.) Most dc/dc power-converter circuits have input capacitors and output ...

When you plug in a blender, turn it on, and the power goes off, you've got a circuit overload. Here's how to prevent that ...

Electronic diagnostic module protects against short circuits, reduces downtime. When overloads and short circuits occur, there’s always a tradeoff between the power supply shutting down the entire 24 ...

Circuit protection has proven useful, but meeting the increasingly sophisticated industrial and commercial requirements can be a challenge. An overload or short circuit in a fuse or mini circuit ...

The simple current-limiting load switch shown in Figure 1 will be familiar to most readers. In this circuit, a high level signal applied to the input switches on MOSFET Q2, which energizes the load.

Suitable for use in hazardous and non-hazardous environments, the EC-E circuit breakers selectively protect load circuits connected to a 24-Vdc power supply. The components combine active current ...

The Leviton Smart Load Center can be installed in new or existing construction. With “smart” technology built into the load center and circuit breakers, the unique product provides real-time, granular ...

Leviton has unveiled its next generation electrical Load Center. The new breaker panel works with an integrated Wi-Fi or Ethernet hub to offer remote circuit control, monitor electrical consumption, ...

Let’s take a closer look at the lighting load requirement. The NEC requirements for branch-circuit load calculations are in Art. 220, Part II. These cover three classifications of loads: Lighting ...
