ABSTRACT:
A short circuit protection system that reacts to a voltage across an electrical load to prevent overdissipation of a semiconductor switch in the event of a short circuit. The system includes a capacitor having a charge state. When the capacitor is charged, the electrical load is turned ON via a transistor. The system automatically latches the electrical load ON until a short circuit occurs or until the capacitor discharges. When a short circuit occurs, the system automatically turns the load OFF.
