Power Control and Circuit Protection – Solutions from Littelfuse and IXYS
Power electronics systems must not only efficiently control the flow of energy but also handle phenomena that may threaten their components. In converters, inverters, power supplies, or drive systems, semiconductors frequently switch large currents and operate at high voltages. At the same time, they may be exposed to overvoltages originating both from the power grid and generated within the device itself.
