Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors (TVSS)
FAQ This is an electronic device that attenuates noise or high speed voltage transients caused from equipment switching, lightning strikes or faults. They are installed between the power source and sensitive equipment and are most effective if installed within close proximity to the piece of equipment being protected. TVSS is the least expensive protection device, cuts noise and voltage transients only, and it does not regulate voltage to limit surges and sags. The two major types of transient voltage surge suppressors are filters and transient diverters. Filters serve as a block to high frequency current which is often noise, while letting the low frequency power current to pass through unaffected. Transients diverters offer a very low impedance path to ground whenever the voltage across the device exceeds a certain value, but thus reduces the voltage that could otherwise be present to the sensitive equipment. | |||||||||
