Relays are used to connect, or disconnect, ring generators to-and-from telephone lines. If the two points are at different potentials, there are high-current transients at the moment of contact. This ...

A custom comparator IC that has fast response time and hysteresis protects a car's engine control unit from failures on monitored peripherals that create high current conditions. In most modern cars, ...

A modification of the current-control circuit in a low-voltage LED system allows use of a chopped supply voltage to modulate the LED intensity. The circuit prevents inrush current to the decoupling ...

Failures can occur in the electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers that control, protect and isolate electrical equipment in electrical power systems, also known as switchgear. When a ...
