Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announces the release of its JANPTX family of non-hermetic plastic Transient Voltage S ...

Damage from transient overvoltages is one of the leading causes of equipment failure. Although some pieces of equipment may come equipped with transient protection, others will need some form of ...

Voltage transients in MV power systems have been observed to contribute to failures of both power and instrument transformers in data centers in recent years. This white paper provides a background ...

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 ...

ON Semiconductor has introduced its latest transient voltage suppression devices for high-speed data lines. ON Semiconductor has introduced its latest transient voltage suppression devices for ...

The National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for overvoltage protection can be found in Art. 242. This Article is new with the 2020 NEC, and it replaces Art. 280 and Art. 285. Those Articles ...

The function of OVP applied to the input side of the converter is to make the converter immune to input over-voltage transients or surges and to make the converter conform to EMC regulations and other ...
