Results for tag: "Fault Current Limiter"

Fault Current Limiters (FCLs) are electrical engineering devices used to limit the amount of current that can flow through an electrical system. They are designed to protect electrical equipment from damage due to short circuits or other faults. FCLs are typically installed in medium and high voltage electrical systems, such as those used in industrial and commercial applications. They are also used in residential applications, such as in homes with solar panels. FCLs work by limiting the amount of current that can flow through the system, thus preventing damage to the equipment. They can be used to protect against both single-phase and three-phase faults. FCLs are typically designed to be able to withstand multiple fault events, and can be used in combination with other protective devices, such as circuit breakers. FCLs are an important part of electrical engineering, as they help to ensure the safety of electrical systems and equipment. They are also used to reduce the risk of power outages and other disruptions caused by faults. Some companies in the Fault Current Limiter market include ABB, Siemens, Eaton, Schneider Electric, and Mitsubishi Electric. Show Less Read more
