Abstract
Systems and methods for protecting a device from destructive current flowing through the device, including protecting the device from overload current and short circuit current. Time limiting elements in the system enable rapid response to a destructive current condition to limit the time of the destructive current condition. Maximum current limiting elements in the system enable rapid response to a destructive current condition to limit the maximum current of the destructive current condition.
Claims28
A system for protecting a device from destructive current conditions, wherein the device includes a controller which includes switching components, and loads driven by the controller, and wherein the controller controls processes of the loads, comprising:
- an element for limiting the time of a destructive current condition through the device;
- and
- an element for limiting the maximum current of a destructive current condition through the device.
A method for protecting a device from destructive current conditions in a system for protecting a device from destructive current conditions, wherein the device includes a controller which includes switching components, and loads driven by the controller, wherein the controller controls processes of the loads, and wherein the method comprises:
- limiting the time of a destructive current condition through the device, through the time limiting element;
- and
- limiting the maximum current of a destructive current condition through the device, through the maximum current limiting element.
