"What is induced lightning surge?" "What is a surge absorber?"... A clear explanation from the basics of lightning surge damage to protective elements for induced lightning surge countermeasures!
A surge absorber is an electronic component designed to protect electronic devices from abnormal voltage (surges) that occurs instantaneously. By connecting a surge absorber at the entrance of a circuit, it allows only the abnormal high voltage to be grounded instantly, thereby protecting the components on the circuit side from surges that invade through power lines or communication lines. Surge absorbers are also referred to as surge protective components, gas arresters, surge arresters, and gas discharge tubes (GDT). ~ Thunderstorm Season: Are You Struggling with Surge Countermeasures? ~ A surge refers to an abnormal voltage that occurs instantaneously. Surges can be classified in various ways depending on their causes, but Mitsubishi Materials provides countermeasure components (surge absorbers, surge protectors: SPD) and solutions specifically for induced lightning surges and electrostatic discharges, which are particularly problematic in circuit design. We offer proposals from various surge tests of your products to surge countermeasures. We provide materials that clearly explain the mechanism of induced lightning surge generation and the protection of electrical/electronic devices. For more details, please check the "Application Note for Surge Absorbers."
