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 ...

Not that this happens often, but what do you do when faced with a repair where you don’t know the power source but you do know you have to drive LED backlighting? When faced with this dilemma [Eric ...

Superconductors can carry electrical current without resistance, but only up to a maximum value known as the critical current ...

The circuit is designed for power supply protection by limiting the amount of maximum output current to prevent any further damage to take place inside the power supply as well as the external circuit ...

Brushless dc motors have the advantages of high reliability and smaller size, but the absence of brushes can pose challenges. One challenge is the requirement for electronic commutation and control, ...

At a power-on cycle, inrush current, if not limited, can peak to tens of even hundreds of amps when capacitive load is present, thereby increasing the probability of failure and decreasing usable ...

Siemens develops superconducting fault current limiters for limiting short-circuit currents in the grid. Superconductors show zero resistance below the critical temperature and below the critical ...

I use an old ATX PSU as a bench supply for my projects and needed a simple & cheap adjustable current limiting circuit. I use an old ATX PSU as a bench supply for my projects and needed a simple & ...

A current-limiting fuse is a type of fuse designed for operations related to short circuits only. When a fuse operates in its current-limiting range, it’ll begin to melt in less than a quarter of a ...

Eaton FAZ-NA and FAZ-NA-L series current-limiting miniature circuit breakers from AutomationDirect offer optimum and efficient protection for feeder, branch and control circuits up to 63 amps. These ...
