The FaultBreak contactor from Sensata Technologies is a high-voltage switching and protection device for electric vehicle power systems that combines contactor and fuse functions in a single component. The device provides passive resettable fault protection and is validated to interrupt fault currents up to 16 kA at 1 kV while maintaining low contact resistance for […]

Large electric vehicles responsible for as much
greenhouse gas as some conventional cars
At least for now, some electric vehicles (EVs) may generate about as much greenhouse gas (GHG) as some internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) when judged over their entire cradle-to-grave life. So say researchers from Norway’s Industrial Ecology Programme and Dept. of Energy and Process Engineering, and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Writing in […]
