Circuit protection devices (CPDs) are used to safeguard low voltage devices from latch ups or damage caused by lightning or electrostatic discharge (ESD). The primary goal of circuit protection devices are safety and reliability. Safety is assured by CPDs by disconnecting power in circuit in case of overvoltage or overcurrent which further eliminates electrocution and fire threats. A circuit breaker or a fuse is usually installed as CPD to prevent a wire conductor from overheating and damaging the electronic equipment and circuitry. Overheating results when too much amperage travels through a wire conductor which could generate enough heat to melt and burn wire insulation and nearby materials. Circuit protection devices are integrated into various types of equipment including computers and laptops, cell phones, medical equipment, game systems, ATM machines, DVD players, battery packs, computer peripherals, set top boxes, modems, wireless communication systems, portable ele
