Abstract
The purpose of the transient voltage surge suppression application will influence the design. This may be to damp voltage, shunt current, filter frequency, dissipate energy or a combination. The elements may consist of air gaps, passive elements, or semiconductor electronics. The verification and performance testing is an area often overlooked. Proper installation, including grounding, is critical to success of the circuit. The paper discusses various approaches to protection system design
