Surge Protective Device

Surge is a transient wave of current, potential, or power in an electric circuit. (IEEE Standard C62.41.1-2002)

Surge are commonly generated from outside the facility such as lightning or inside the facility including switching of electrical loads and equipment malfunction. Surges are generally measured in microseconds, surges are brief overvoltage spikes or disturbances on a power waveform that can damage, degrade, or destroy electronic equipment, that is the reason to use surge protective devices for protection.

A surge protective device (SPD) is a protective device designed to protect electrical equipments, etc by limiting transient overvoltages, diverting or limiting surge current. SPDs are usually connected in parallel on the power supply circuit of the loads that is has to protect.

The core component of SPDs is a nonlinear component. SPDs can be categorized as voltage switching type SPD (Use GDT) and voltage limiting type SPD (Use MOV) based on its core component.

Metal oxide varistors (MOVs) and gas discharge tubes (GDTs) are two core components commonly used in manufacturing SPDs. MOVs limit voltages to about 3 to 4 times the normal circuit voltage by diverting surge current elsewhere to protect the electrical loads. GDTs create an effective short circuit if any electrical energy is present, and GDT will short this until all electric current sufficiently diminishes. Thus MOVs and GDTs are able to limit transient overvoltage, divert or limit surge current.
