Circuit Protection

Circuit protection safeguards electronic systems from overcurrent, overvoltage, and short circuits, preventing damage or failure. Employed in various devices, it relies on protective devices like fuses, circuit breakers, and surge protectors. Fuses interrupt the circuit when current exceeds a safe limit, while circuit breakers reset automatically. Surge protectors divert excessive voltage to prevent damage from power spikes. These mechanisms ensure reliable and durable operation of electronic equipment by promptly isolating and mitigating potential hazards, preserving the integrity of circuits and components.
