GridON has announced a new family of inexpensive fault current limiters with smaller footprint for mid-to-high-voltage applications. GridON’s established technology has been further enhanced to offer ...

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 ...

Adding a clamp circuit to the well known current-limiter protects the "pass" transistor from over-currents when load faults occur. Most readers are probably familiar with two-terminal current-limiting ...

After seven years, FaultCurrent has wrapped up the final stage of testing for its Fault Current Limiter. A number of companies have designed and built Fault Current Limiters using different technical ...

A new theory could help build future superconducting alternating-current fault-current limiters for electricity transmission and distribution systems. The work identifies design strategies that can ...
