Federal investigators on Tuesday said a short circuit was to blame for the failure of a safety system designed to prevent a Red Line train from accelerating and dragging a passenger to his death ...

The software update addresses the short circuit by altering each affected vehicle's power-up sequence to prevent the shorting failure with no further action required.

Thus, different failure modes will occur and so for SiC MOSFETs, other mitigation measures are in place to adjust the short-circuit behavior of the device. Fig 2: A schematic temperature distribution ...

Delays in short-circuit protection triggers require careful selection of the magnetics and overcurrent threshold values to prevent component stress.

From AVX, the TBW series tantalum Fused Capacitor provides increased protection against short circuit failure modes.

Scientists have uncovered a root cause of the growth of needle-like structures -- known as dendrites and whiskers -- that plague lithium batteries, sometimes causing a short circuit, failure, or ...

The maintenance coordinator died of smoke inhalation after an electrical short occurred in a circuit he was troubleshooting, according to the report released Wednesday.

Please enjoy the latest edition of Short Circuit, a weekly feature written by a bunch of people at the Institute for Justice. New on the Short Circuit podcast: Professor Katy Ramsey Mason of the ...

The "circuit breaker that provided over-current protection to the circuit failed, resulting in a sustained arc-flash," said the often technical report from the U.S. Department of Labor Mine Safety ...
