Most places you live in today will manage their electrical power via circuit breakers, though fuse boxes predated that technology in the early 20th century.

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 ...

When is a fuse more desirable than a circuit breaker as an overcurrent protection device? a. A fuse is never more desirable in a circuit b. A fuse is always more desirable in a circuit c. A fuse is ...

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 ...

Benefits of an e-fuse solution. Optimal voltage range for e-fuse applications. Target applications for e-fuse devices. The trend toward higher bus voltages creates the need for a robust circuit ...

Fuses are an essential part of many system designs, and we’ve come to depend on them since the earliest days of electricity. The basic concept of using a fusible link—which self-heats due to current ...
