From traditional fuses to eFuses, understanding the advantages, limitations, and use cases of each technology helps engineers ...

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 ...

With the 2020 revision of the NEC, Art. 242 replaced two individual Articles that appeared in earlier editions of the Code — Art. 280 [Surge Arrestors] and Art. 285 [Transient Voltage Surge ...

The hostile environments found in many of today’s applications require integrated circuits to withstand high voltage and current. Systems designers need to select high-performance ICs to use in these ...

Why a gas-discharge tube is an important component for overvoltage protection. The history of spark gaps—predecessors to GDTs—includes a role in famous movies. How a new, compact, surface-mount GDT ...

Several types of devices are employed in electronic systems to protect against voltage transients, power surges, and excessive voltage or current. Varistors is one of those devices that protect ...

In December 2025, UL Solutions awarded Voltage Energy Group (“Voltage Energy”) a certification for its full-system electrical balance of system (EBOS) solution for 2kV photovoltaic (PV) cable ...

Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) are at the forefront of high voltage direct current (HVDC) technology, offering significant advantages in terms of efficiency, scalability and reduced harmonic ...

Ryobi continues to be one of the most respected tool manufacturers on the market, even if some of them are pretty obscure, and that's for a variety of different reasons. One of the most notable ...
