Over Voltage Protection

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008


Safety devices like fuses provide protection against excess current, but do nothing for transients and short duration spikes of high voltahe on the power supply lines.This circuit uses the “crowbar” method and provides fast protection against transient voltage spikes, transients that could cause damage to sensitive components. The thyristor will trigger in a few microseconds. [...]
