ABSTRACT:
An electronic circuit breaker includes multiloop control loops based upon a current sensing loop and a voltage sensing loop. The current sensing loop also operates to drive a timer which ultimately controls whether current flows through the load or not. Additionally, the current loop is made to be dominant over the voltage loop. However, during normal operation the voltage loop and current loop act cooperatively to effectively control the impedance as seen by the load.
