Overcurrent information

In an electric power system, overcurrent or excess current is a situation where a larger than intended electric current exists through a conductor, leading...

disc overcurrent relays is designed to detect overcurrents in a power system and operate with a pre-determined time delay when certain overcurrent limits...

likely to result in a very high current and therefore quickly trigger an overcurrent protection device. However, it is possible for short circuits to arise...
