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 ...

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 ...

American Superconductor Corporation and Siemens AG announced commercial-grade performance levels for a medium voltage superconductor surge protection device known as a fault current limiter (FCL). The ...

CAMTEC is launching the second-generation AC current limiters. Due to their cooling system, they can be installed wall-by-wall with the other components. The company claims the new CAMTEC ESB001 ...

The Motor control ICs of the TDA514x family have been provided with an on-chip current limiter circuit. The current limit value, however, can not be set externally. Therefore the need came-up for an ...

Ametherm announced that its SURGE-GARD™ series of NTC inrush current limiting thermistors, recently acquired by Ametherm from Measurement Specialties (formerly RTI Electronics), has received ...

As electronics have moved lower in voltage, it’s perhaps less common to work on live-mains equipment. Thus particularly among younger hardware hackers it sometimes seems as though such work is viewed ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I ...
