overloadcan
Overloadcan is a term in electrical and systems engineering used to describe a protective enclosure or module designed to contain, absorb, or redirect energy during overload events. The concept is to prevent damage to equipment and maintain service continuity by capturing transient energy that exceeds normal operating limits. The name suggests a contained, shielded vessel for overloads.
Design typically involves a sealed enclosure connected across the protected circuit. Inside are energy-absorbing elements, sensing
Applications include industrial power distribution, data centers, and renewable-energy interfaces where transient surges are frequent. Variants
Safety and standards: Overloadcans must comply with electrical-safety codes and include venting and thermal protection to
