Surge voltage protection considerations
Unmanaged surge voltages can cause disruption or damage to systems or even danger for users and operators. Surge protection devices (SPDs), also called transient voltage suppressors (TVSs) are commonly used to provide protection against voltage surges and spikes by limiting or blocking the energy. SPDs can be found in electric distribution networks, building wiring, and […]
