Lightning, inductive load switching, or capacitor bank switching may cause transient overvoltage conditions in AC line voltage applications such as white goods and appliances. Metal Oxide Varistors ...

I love thunderstorms! For some reason, the sound of the heavy rain on the roof almost lulls me to sleep. The sound of distant thunder, caused by occasional flashes of lightning, to me is comforting in ...

An undervoltage or voltage sag is a disturbance that commonly occurs during electrical faults or when equipment is turning on. They are produced when large currents are being drawn on the system. On ...

Metal-oxide varistors (MOVs) are the most widely used device for protecting sensitive electronics from damaging overvoltage transients. To date, most consider MOVs to be sacrificial devices, expected ...

For years, transients generated on the utility grid have plagued industrial and commercial facilities with a high concentration of variable-speed drives (VSDs) and other sensitive loads. The common ...

Electrical overcurrent, ground faults, arc-flash, and transient overvoltage are major concerns for battery energy storage system (BESS) operators and owners. To protect the system and extend the life ...

Linear Technology has an overvoltage protection controller which operates from 9V to greater than 500V. The LTC4366 floating surge stopper uses an adjustable floating topology to enable very high ...
