High Power Semiconductor Crowbar Protector for AC Power Line Applications

2023-05-09
●Power Input Line Risks and Protection
■AC power line disturbances are the cause of many equipment failures. The damage can be as elusive as occasional data loss or as dramatic as the destruction of a power supply, LED Lighting, Industrial system and consumer equipment such as ovens or refrigerators and television sets.
■Power line disturbances go by many names---transients, surges, spikes, glitches, etc. But regardless of the specific name, an understanding of their characteristics and the operation of the various protection components available is necessary to design an effective protection circuit.
■There are some popular protection components for these power input lines. The most common over voltage protection components are MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistor), high power TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) Diodes and GDTs (Gas Discharge Tube). In this article, we are going to discuss a new and innovative method of using a silicon crowbar component known as, the SIDACtor® Protection Thyristor, for the main over voltage protection solution for AC power lines.
