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 ...

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 ...

Available integrated circuits can let you program a current limit, but they generally involve microcontrollers or data converters (or both). As an alternative, the circuit of Figure 1 lets you program ...

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 ...

The improved one-BJT current-limiting supply is not much different than the primitive circuit, though its one additional resistor does change the circuit behavior. The improved circuit is shown below.

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 ...
