Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4380, an ultralow quiescent current (IQ) surge stopper, providing compact overvoltage and overcurrent protection. Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4380, ...

A surge current rating refers to the product’s ability to withstand a surge, not its ability to provide protection. In any case, the assumption that an SPD can handle the kind of power it would ...

Why a gas-discharge tube is an important component for overvoltage protection. The history of spark gaps—predecessors to GDTs—includes a role in famous movies. How a new, compact, surface-mount GDT ...

All questions and answers are based on the 2017 NEC. Q. Per the NEC, overcurrent protection devices must be placed at what location in branch-circuit or feeder conductors? A. Except as permitted by ...
