Abstract :
The increasing volume of electronic systems in use today means that even modest lightning activity can result in damage to electronic systems. Use of transient overvoltage protectors provides a means of solving this problem. However not all protectors are the same, and here the author describes methods to ensure that the protector selected is effective
