Protecting susceptible electronic equipment from AC power line disturbances is a major concern for most people, whether their business environment is commercial or industrial. No matter what the ...

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 ...

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 ...

The automotive industry demands cost-effective and fully reliable electrical systems, but this tough and potentially destructive environment poses a huge challenge for the power semiconductor devices ...

Performance under transient loads has become the most important specification of voltage regulators used to power a wide array of products whose current demands vary quickly during operation. Testing ...

Most facilities are aware of the electrical disturbances that occur on the electric utility side of the meter, as they are the recipients of these events. Voltage transients are caused by electric ...

Solid-state relays are much smaller than corresponding single-pole relays. They are also faster, dissipate less power, and withstand a larger number of operations. And unlike electromechanical relays, ...
