Resistors are one of the fundamental components used in electronic circuits. They do one thing: resist the flow of electrical current. There is more than one way to skin a cat, and there is more than ...

To see this article in PDF format, please click here. New regulations concerning surge protection are forcing engineers to look for solutions that allow such protection to be incorporated at minimal ...

Zinc oxide varistor ceramics are polycrystalline materials engineered to exhibit a highly nonlinear current–voltage response, making them indispensable for overvoltage protection in power distribution ...

An ideal protection device must limit the energy going to the load being defended, to a sufficient minimum level, such that the load is not damaged. The protection device must survive this energy ...
