Surge protection for an electrical panel controls how transient voltages enter and spread through branch circuits inside the ...

Adding a single outlet can feel like a tiny upgrade, but the moment you touch that receptacle, a major breaker panel rule can ...

The global demand for green energy sources is driving strong market growth for solar power systems. Although a great deal of development work is still focused on making PV (photovoltaic) energy ...

A 240-volt service powers heavy-duty appliances like ovens, air conditioners, water heaters and electric dryers. If something goes wrong in that panel, it may cause those systems to fail, damage the ...

My introduction to circuit protection came at the tender age of eight. Being a curious lad with an inventive – and apparently self-destructive – bent, I decided to make my mother a lamp. I put a hose ...

The circuit protection market is filled with such a wide variety of fuses today that the previously accepted method of specifying fuses is just not enough. Instead, the proper application of fuses in ...

A circuit breaker that trips repeatedly is often assumed to be defective, but that assumption is frequently wrong. Breakers respond to conditions downstream, and replacing one without understanding ...

I continue to be surprised by how many equipment designers are confused by UL circuit protection standards. In trying to meet conflicting standards, engineers may actually decrease the level of ...

Benefits of an e-fuse solution. Optimal voltage range for e-fuse applications. Target applications for e-fuse devices. The trend toward higher bus voltages creates the need for a robust circuit ...
