An electronic circuit for a surgical robotic system includes a central power node, a first voltage bus that electrically couples a first power source to the node, a second voltage bus that electrically couples a second power source to the node, and several robotic arms, each arm is electrically coupled to the node via an output circuit breaker and is arranged to draw power from the node. Each bus is arranged to provide power from a respective power source to the node and each bus has an input circuit breaker that is arranged to limit a first output current flow from the node and into the bus. Each breaker that is arranged to limit a second output current flow from the node and into a respective arm. A breaker is arranged to open in response to a fault occurring within the respective arm, while the other breakers remain closed.

An air conditioner and a compressor protection circuit thereof are provided. When overcurrent occurs in a phase current of a compressor, an overcurrent level signal is output by a voltage comparison module, and is latched and output to an intelligent power module by a signal latching module, and the intelligent power module shuts off the output of the phase current according to the overcurrent level signal, so as to achieve the overcurrent protection of the compressor; and subsequently, a conventional level signal is output to the signal latching module by the voltage comparison module, the signal latching module keeps outputting the overcurrent level signal, and outputs the conventional level signal until a latching cancel signal output by a signal processing circuit is received, so that the intelligent power module starts the output of the phase current, thereby enabling the compressor to normally operate.
