So you have power circuit breakers at your facility, and they seem to be just fine, sitting there quietly doing their job. What you may not realize is that even though your circuit breakers are ...

This internal short circuit device provides a controlled method of testing to improve the safety of lithium-ion batteries in space gear and electric-drive vehicles. The statistics for shorts occurring ...

ABOUT ten years ago it was found necessary to build short-circuit testing stations in order to find out the true rating for a large switch or current-breaker. In order to find out how a switch will ...

Suppose that you need to test a 1.5V, AA-size alkaline battery. You can apply a short circuit and measure current, or you can measure open-circuit voltage, but neither method properly tests the ...

A German research team has developed a semiconductor-based protection concept tailored to renewable energy systems that forces a permanent short circuit in less than 1 millisecond in the event of a ...
