The increasing use of integrated circuits in modern electronic systems has resulted in a growing awareness about lightning overvoltage hazard. The integrated circuits, especially large-scale ...

A surge current rating refers to the product’s ability to withstand a surge, not its ability to provide protection. In any case, the assumption that an SPD can handle the kind of power it would ...

Why a gas-discharge tube is an important component for overvoltage protection. The history of spark gaps—predecessors to GDTs—includes a role in famous movies. How a new, compact, surface-mount GDT ...

Several types of devices are employed in electronic systems to protect against voltage transients, power surges, and excessive voltage or current. Varistors is one of those devices that protect ...

Surge protective devices can prevent damage, downtime, and lost revenue. ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) released an infographic, What are Power ...

While 80% of surges originate internally from normal operations like motor starts and VFD inverter operation, external causes like lightning and utility switching also demand industrial-grade surge ...
