Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4380, an ultralow quiescent current (IQ) surge stopper, providing compact overvoltage and overcurrent protection. Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4380, ...

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 ...

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 ...

In automotive, industrial, and avionic applications, high voltage power supply spikes with durations ranging from a few microseconds to hundreds of milliseconds are commonly encountered. The ...

All questions and answers are based on the 2017 NEC. Q. Per the NEC, overcurrent protection devices must be placed at what location in branch-circuit or feeder conductors? A. Except as permitted by ...
