Common protection methods consist of ferrites for EMI reduction, ESD diodes, transient suppressors, interlocking processes for high-power loads, and, of course, fuses to limit current upon a fault condition. Safety can greatly increase the importance of these kinds of protection while requiring other safeguards as well. 

Everything becomes more straightforward when safety is considered. The cost typically decreases in priority while reliability and redundancy become the primary goals (and will likely be required during the certification and product testing process). For products that in certain failure modes can inflict any kind of harm on people (whether directly or indirectly), a risk assessment must be conducted to cover as many reasonable scenarios as possible.

Many circuits in production are individual and closed. This means they do not physically connect or interact with other devices. However, they are many circuits that do interact with external devices (such as peripherals), and in many cases, these peripherals are not designed by the engineer responsible for the original circuit. A good engineer can protect their own circuit, but a great engineer also considers how their circuit could protect other circuits. Expecting an engineer to design circuit protection with external peripherals in mind that they themselves did not design is arguably unfair. How does the engineer know that the connected peripheral follows common protection standards?

Eaton-Bussmann Electrical Division's complete line of circuit protection products reflects a long tradition of creating solutions that enhance electrical safety, reliability, code compliance, and efficient power distribution in alternative energy, commercial, industrial, and mining operations.
