Reference [1] describes a process for the design of lightning protection that transforms the transient experienced by the components during the lightning test transient into the reference transients ...

The JANPTX family of surface-mount transient voltage suppressor devices from Microchip Technology is qualified to ...

The JANPTX devices meet the MIL-PRF-19500 qualification and offer a high peak pulse power rating of 1.5kWCHANDLER, Ariz., Jan ...

Lightning is one of the main paths for electrons to return from the atmosphere to the earth's surface. As in all electron flow, lightning is a form of current flow. Enormously high voltages (Table 1) ...

Microchip Technology has released its JANPTX family of non-hermetic plastic Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) devices that meet the MIL-PRF-19500 qualification, offering high-reliability protection ...

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 ...

Lightning protection in photovoltaic (PV) systems is a critical area of study as these installations are increasingly exposed to atmospheric discharges that can substantially disrupt energy production ...

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 ...

New from Lightning Eliminators and Consultants are two transient limiters, the TL-50 and -80. Each provides protection for AC electrical circuits. The lower-cost TL-50 is rated at 50,000 amps; the ...

Many vendors of industrial bus transceivers showcase their device robustness with a high immunity to electrostatic discharge (ESD). In strong contrast to that, industrial system designers rank ESD as ...

Measuring 2 by 2 mm, the TClamp1202P is the smallest low-cap, high-surge, 12-V (VRWM) transient voltage protection array in its class, according to developer Semtech. With its 100 A (8x20-µs waveform) ...
