Surge protection for an electrical panel controls how transient voltages enter and spread through branch circuits inside the panel, limiting internal equipment damage when external or switching surges ...

Circuit breakers now sport advanced features that include remote control and operational status reporting. Engineers have long considered circuit protection a stable if somewhat unglamorous area.

The design of a generator system requires many hours of detailed planning with the goal of creating an extremely reliable backup power source. Properly installed, 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 ...

Adding a single outlet can feel like a tiny upgrade, but the moment you touch that receptacle, a major breaker panel rule can kick in. Modern electrical codes treat any extension of a circuit as new ...

I continue to be surprised by how many equipment designers are confused by UL circuit protection standards. In trying to meet conflicting standards, engineers may actually decrease the level of ...
