GridON has announced a new family of inexpensive fault current limiters with smaller footprint for mid-to-high-voltage applications. GridON’s established technology has been further enhanced to offer ...

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 ...

American Superconductor (AMSC) and China's Institute of Electrical Engineering (IEE) recently announced that IEE has successfully demonstrated a superconductor-based fault current limiter—essentially ...

A new theory could help build future superconducting alternating-current fault-current limiters for electricity transmission and distribution systems. The work identifies design strategies that can ...

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 ...

A previous Idea for Design described a technique for protecting the “pass” transistor in a current-limiting circuit against excessive power dissipation (see “Fault-Protected Current Limiter Keeps Its ...

The methods of protecting electronics from circuitry failures and managing inrush current at power on has evolved significantly from a simple fuse and maybe a P-channel FET to much more sophisticated ...
