Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method that includes monitoring, using a microcontroller, an electric circuit of a vehicle, the electric comprising a battery source and a load. The battery source supplies electric power to the load. The method further includes detecting, using the microcontroller, a high current event in the electric circuit by comparing a current level of a current flowing through the electric circuit to a time-based current threshold. The method further includes responsive to detecting the high current event, controlling a gate driver to cause a switch of an electronically resettable fuse to open the electric circuit to stop the flow of the current through the electric circuit.
