TABLE OF CONTENTS Understanding DC vs AC surge protection is now essential for every electrical engineer working with low‑voltage power distribution, PV systems, EV charging, and industrial control. In many real projects, engineers must combine AC surge protection devices at distribution boards with DC surge protection devices on PV strings, batteries, and DC buses; choosing […]
TABLE OF CONTENTS Understanding what is a fuse is fundamental for anyone designing, installing, or maintaining electrical and photovoltaic systems. When engineers ask “what is a fuse,” they are talking about a deliberately weak link in the circuit that sacrifices itself to protect cables, devices, and people from dangerous overcurrent. In low‑voltage panels this often […]
TABLE OF CONTENTS Choosing correctly between type 1 vs type 2 surge protective devices is one of the most important decisions when designing a robust low-voltage power distribution system. In practice, the right combination of type 1 vs type 2 surge protective devices determines whether lightning currents and switching surges are safely diverted to earth […]
TABLE OF CONTENT In modern homes, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities, sensitive electronics and control systems are constantly exposed to short, high‑energy spikes in voltage known as surges. A surge protective device (SPD) is a dedicated protective component that limits these transient overvoltages and diverts the associated surge current away from equipment and safely to […]
TABLE OF CONTENTS Selecting the right type 2 surge protective device is critical for keeping low-voltage power distribution boards, feeders, and final circuits safe from damaging transient overvoltages. A correctly chosen type 2 surge protective device will clamp common switching and induced lightning surges while coordinating with upstream breakers and downstream equipment. When the type […]
