As semiconductor manufacturers introduce new wireline transmission devices built on smaller CMOS geometries, more circuit protection challenges are emerging. This article explores five frequently ...

Voltage transients in MV power systems have been observed to contribute to failures of both power and instrument transformers in data centers in recent years. This white paper provides a background ...

Damage from transient overvoltages is one of the leading causes of equipment failure. Although some pieces of equipment may come equipped with transient protection, others will need some form of ...

The National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for overvoltage protection can be found in Art. 242. This Article is new with the 2020 NEC, and it replaces Art. 280 and Art. 285. Those Articles ...

The rate of transient occurrences varies with every power system. Recent studies show that surges of 1kV or less are common — whereas 3kV surges are rare. Protecting against more frequent (internally ...

Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announces the release of its JANPTX family of non-hermetic plastic Transient Voltage S ...

Transient voltage suppression diodes provide secondary transient voltage protection from transients induced by load dump and other transient voltage events that require high reliability. Littelfuse’s ...

This application note presents different types of overvoltage protection devices for solid-state relays. The document also provides suggested recommendations on their selection and use with the Vishay ...

Voltage transformers (VT) are used in electrical grids for metering and/or protection purposes. The high requirements regarding their precision demand a calibration ...
