Abstract
An electronic circuit breaker has an input, an output, and a switch electrically connected between the input and the output. The electronic circuit breaker monitors the energy dissipated by the switch and opens the switch when the energy reaches a threshold value in order to protect the switch. The electronic circuit breaker also monitors the current through the switch and opens the switch when necessary to protect the load.
