Overcurrent protection of conductors is an idea so simple that it is almost self-evident. Excessive current in a conductor results in rapid temperature rise, which damages insulation and creates ...
Understanding the overcurrent trilogy will help you protect your circuits. Circuit overcurrent protection encompasses overload, short-circuit, and ground-fault protection. NEC Art. 100 defines ...
Requiring only a handful of inexpensive components, the circuit breaker in Figure 1 responds to both overcurrent- and overvoltage-fault conditions. At the heart of the circuit, D 2, an adjustable, ...
