Short circuit current ratings should not be overlooked during panel design. Negative impacts can occur to production, equipment and, worst case, plant personnel.

Short circuits are relatively common, but they can be dangerous and a warning sign of a possible electrical hazard, so it's important to know what short circuits are and how to prevent them in ...

Transistor VT2 provides short-circuit protection to the load, with red LED D4 indicting an overload. (D2 blows out simultaneously with an overload.) Short-circuit current does not exceed 38 mA.
