Key Points
When a power transient occurs, the
surge-suppression device works by
quickly changing state to provide
a low-resistance path for diverting
excess energy to ground.
Different surge-suppression
technologies behave in different
ways, and each has its advantages
and disadvantages.
Surge-suppression technologies
are typically used along with
other complementary overcurrent
protection.
