Application Sharing: Selection, Installation, and Maintenance of Surge Protection device
Dec 25 , 2025
Sudden electrical malfunctions, unexplained equipment damage, and even occasional electrical fires are often related to "transient overvoltages," commonly known as "surges." These invisible "electrical shocks" can be caused by lightning strikes, turning appliances on or off, or interference from the power grid, making them "invisible killers" for electrical equipment. Surge protection device ...

When a thunderstorm occurs, is it better to stay as far away from large trees as possible in open areas outdoors?
Jan 14 , 2026
Most people know that you shouldn't stand under a large tree during a thunderstorm. Searching online for similar questions often yields answers like "stay away from isolated large trees" or "the farther away from trees, the better," as these types of accidents are most common. However, these statements are not entirely accurate and are somewhat one-sided. In open areas, isolated large trees act li...

What are the differences between Single-port SPD and two-port SPD?
Jan 22 , 2026
The distinction between single-port and two-port surge protective devices (SPDs) is essentially a professional classification based on their circuit topology and connection method within the circuit. A single-port SPD exhibits a parallel connection structure in its electrical configuration, with all its external terminals directly connected in parallel to the protected power or signal lines. The i...

What is the "clamping voltage" of SPD? What is the core role in SPD, and how it related to the "voltage protection level"?
Feb 05 , 2026
The clamping voltage is a dynamic performance parameter, specifically referring to the peak voltage across the terminals of a surge protective device (SPD) when its core nonlinear element (such as a metal oxide varistor (MOV) or avalanche diode (TVS)) conducts and discharges a surge current of a specific waveform and amplitude. It is essentially the highest voltage established by the SPD during th...
