  • Abstract
    Devices for protection against transient overvoltages should reduce these overvoltages to a safe value well below the breakdown level of the system without causing a power outage. D-c surge protectors utilizing two types of switching elements — silicon-controlled rectifiers and 4-layer diodes — are discussed.
