Dear Members,
I need help in designing transient voltage suppressors in PSPICE. I need circuit diagram for a transient voltage suppressor which can clamp voltages up to
5 Kilo Volts. I dont know about peak power rating and the reverse breakdown voltage. Please help me in this regard. I need this information very urgently.
Introduction to TVS devices:
A transient voltage suppressor or TVS is a general classification of an array of devices that are designed to react to sudden or momentary overvoltage conditions. One such common device used for this purpose is known as the transient voltage suppressor diode that is simply a zener diode designed to protect electronics against overvoltages. Another design alternative applies a family of products that are known as Metal Oxide Varistor or just MOV that protect electronic circuits and electrical equipment.
The characteristic of a TVS requires that it respond to overvoltages faster than other common overvoltage protection components such as varistors or gas discharge tubes. This makes TVS devices or components useful for protection against very fast and often damaging voltage transients. These fast overvoltage transients are present on all distribution networks and can be caused by either internal or external events, such as lightning or motor arcing.
Thanking You,
Dolu
