[Mike Worth] wanted the option to run his Microwave Oven Transformer welding rig at less that full power. After being inspired by some of the other MOT hacks we’ve featured he figured there must be a ...

The circuit is designed for power supply protection by limiting the amount of maximum output current to prevent any further damage to take place inside the power supply as well as the external circuit ...

I use an old ATX PSU as a bench supply for my projects and needed a simple & cheap adjustable current limiting circuit. I use an old ATX PSU as a bench supply for my projects and needed a simple & ...

The importance of current limiting. A flexible solution for adding current limiting. In some power-management applications, precise current limiting is required. This is necessary either to protect ...

One of the major challenges facing the electric industry is how to manage network fault levels, the magnitude of the electrical current that flows into a fault or short circuit. These current levels ...

A. An overcurrent device (typically a fast-acting fuse) that reduces the fault current to a magnitude substantially less than that obtainable in the same circuit if the current-limiting device wasn’t ...

This is a bench power supply with adjustable voltage and current limiting. [Sylvain’s] creation can regulate 0-25 volts while sourcing 0-5 amps. Current limiting is a nice feature as it will allow you ...

The new Thomas & Betts Hi-Tech 38kV Trans-Guard OS Shorty Backup Current-Limiting Fuse provides risk reduction of disruptive transformer failure. Designed for use in 26.4 to 34.5kV distribution and ...

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 ...

I don’t know about you, but although I like reading about electronics in a theoretical sort of way, there’s nothing I enjoy more than the hands-on building of something and then watching that thing ...

The goal of an effective motor overload protection scheme is to protect the motor from damage while allowing it to operate normally up to its thermal limit. Ideally such a scheme would be based on a ...
