Circuit breaker protects SMPS from hiccup mode

LUTZE Locc-box solid state circuit breaker isolates the over-current that can cause a SMPS to hiccup. Primary switching controllers and automatic power units nowadays form the basis of the 24Vdc supply level. Due to the operating behaviour of the devices, the specified selective protection of individual circuits especially in the case of an overcurrent, is virtually unfeasible. A complete system shutdown is inevitable. Selective load protection means that only the faulty current path is switched off with no effect on the SMPS. http://southwestenergy.ca/swe_lutze_products
