Surge suppressors, also known as surge protectors or surge arrestors, are critical components in electronic systems designed to safeguard connected devices from voltage spikes, surges, and transient overvoltages. These protective devices are essential for preventing damage to sensitive electronic equipment caused by power fluctuations, lightning strikes, or other electrical disturbances. Surge suppressors come in various types, each offering specific features and protection levels: Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS), Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs), Gas Discharge Arrestors (GDTs), Silicon Avalanche Diodes (SADs), Power Strips with Surge Protection. Choosing the right type and considering factors such as clamping voltage, energy rating, and response time are essential for providing effective protection to connected devices.
