Abstract: The systems and methods described are for adjusting over current protection values during changes in load current. In one aspect, a method includes, monitoring a load current amplitude value at a power input connected to an electrical load; determining a rate of change of the load current amplitude value; determining whether the rate of change of the load current amplitude value exceeds a predefined rate threshold value; in response to determining that the rate of change of the load current amplitude value exceeds the predefined rate threshold value: adjusting an over current protection value from a first over current protection value to an adjusted over current protection value for a first predefined amount of time; and at the expiration of the first predefined amount of time, at least partially reversing the adjustment to the over current protection value.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing electrical protection and reducing power consumption in data centers. In an aspect, an apparatus includes a hot swap control circuit that monitors a voltage drop across a fuse, and selectively connects a bus bar to a load, based on the monitored voltage. Further, the apparatus selectively disconnects the bus bar from the load when the hot swap control circuit indicates that the monitored voltage across the fuse has attained a voltage threshold.
