Analysis Of The Functional Mechanism Of Surge Protector
First, we need to understand some parameters and their working principles.
⑴ The 10/350μs wave simulates a direct lightning strike and has high waveform energy; the 8/20μs wave simulates lightning induction and conduction.
⑵ The nominal discharge current In refers to the peak current flowing through the surge protective device and 8/20μs current waves.
⑶ The maximum discharge current Imax, also known as the maximum discharge current, refers to the maximum discharge current that the surge protector can withstand after a single strike using an 8/20μs current wave.
⑷ The maximum continuous withstand voltage Uc (rms) refers to the maximum AC voltage or DC voltage that can be continuously applied to the surge protection device.
