Abstract
An energy and power supply device includes an energy storage unit configured to store electrical energy, an output coupled to the energy storage unit and configured to provide an output electrical current to a load, and a current limiting system configured to selectively limit the output electrical current according to a current protection profile. The current protection profile includes a plurality of threshold currents and a plurality of corresponding threshold periods of time that facilitate providing the output electrical current according to a maximum variable current versus time function.
