Subject: Transient Surge Suppression
Mighty Experts of EMC, I have a question concerning the determination of the right Transient Suppressor to use for controlling Lightning Surges. How do I determine the correct size and type of surge suppresser to use (MOV's, Spark Gaps, etc...) to help my power supplies survive the surge requirement of IEC 1000-4-5 to the AC mains? My equipment is all single phase with idle currents below 4 Amps. Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated. P.S. My questions or comments do not reflect the opinions of my company or their lack of knowledge. :) ---------------------------------------------------- Douglas Best Compliance Technician IFR America's Inc.
