This post demonstrates a basic design idea for making your own short pulse generator using components which are inexpensive and readily available. You will find many interesting and useful ...

A power system functions normally until after the occurrence of a fault in the system. The good news is fault events can be minimized or avoided through diligent electrical design, accurate record ...

The new APO Pyrofuse from SCHURTER provides active safety for high-voltage systems up to 1000V/400A. A micro gas generator disconnects the circuit within less than 2ms in case of a fault signal – ...

This is the first of a two-part series on the processes used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. In Part 1, we’ll use a simplified power system to illustrate the ...

WHEN an electric generator is accidentally short-circuited, huge currents are developed and unless the ‘pcircuit-breakers’ act promptly, serious damage may be done to the generator and there is a risk ...
