Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4380, an ultralow quiescent current (IQ) surge stopper, providing compact overvoltage and overcurrent protection for always-on 4V to 72V electronics in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Transient voltage and transient current events, commonly known as power surges, voltage surges, or current spikes, are a relatively frequent occurrence for many electronics applications. Transient ...

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 ...

A. Except as permitted by Sec. 240.21(A) through (H), overcurrent devices must be placed at the point where the branch-circuit or feeder conductors receive their power. Taps and transformer secondary ...

Circuit protection, an intrinsic part of electronics design, is continually incorporating advanced technologies while it serves specialized use cases with intelligent new features and compact ...
