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 ...

[Ito-Brazil] pointed out N-Labs simple current limiter for stepper motors. A current limiting system will let you run stepper motors at higher speeds, with greater torque and efficiency without ...

Here at Hackaday we really like to feature projects that push the limits of what’s possible, or ones that feature some new and exciting technology that nobody has ever seen before. So what’s so ...

A previous current limiter works well at low supply voltages but lacks precision at supply voltages above 10 V. This improved version reacts quickly to protect the circuit from drops in load ...

Analysis of the number 2 choice among top Ideas for Design in Electronic Design's 2010 "Best Of" issue deals with protecting open-collector drivers against shorts to the positive rail. The automobile ...

Constant current limiting circuits are commonplace, but sometimes a constant power limiting function is desired instead. This can be because downstream loads, like DC/DC converters, present a constant ...

Fault current limiters (FCLs) serve as essential protective devices within modern power systems, mitigating the potentially damaging effects of fault currents. By dynamically increasing their ...

A solar day lamp is a simple, inexpensive device for bringing “daylight” to dark interior spaces whenever the sun is shining. This article provides complete instructions for designing lamps using both ...

After seven years, FaultCurrent has wrapped up the final stage of testing for its Fault Current Limiter. A number of companies have designed and built Fault Current Limiters using different technical ...
