This article discusses Allegro’s current sensor integrated circuits (ICs) and its DC current capability and fuse characteristics, as well as its 50 A to 200 A measurement capability. It also features ...

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 ...

An electrical fuse box and a circuit breaker panel interrupt faults differently, shaping safety exposure, maintenance risk, upgrade limits, and long-term reliability. The wrong choice can quietly turn ...

Menlo Park, Calif. — Raychem Circuit Protection, a business unit of Tyco Electronics, has expanded its line of overcurrent protection devices with its RoHS-compliant slow blow surface-mount fuses.

In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or ...

Understanding the advantages, limitations, and use cases of each technology helps engineers create reliable consumer products.

It’s easy to trivialize the need for a fuse and how to select one. We have all been annoyed or exasperated by a blown fuse. Sometimes we wish there was no such component needed for our circuits. With ...

The current flowing through an appliance can be calculated by rearranging the equation: Once the current is known the next highest fuse rating is chosen. A fuse rated below the normal operating ...

Maintenance personnel should implement a maintenance procedure for interval inspections of fuse protected equipment. The maintenance procedure should stress the environmental or operating conditions ...

The new Trans-Guard EXT Current-Limiting Backup Fuse from Thomas & Betts is designed to enhance protection on overhead distribution systems by significantly reducing the amount of energy let-through ...

The new Trans-Guard™ EXT Current-Limiting Backup Fuse is designed to enhance protection on overhead distribution systems by significantly reducing the amount of energy let-through to the source of the ...
