INSTALLATION
TVS devices used across power
lines are subject to relatively high
magnitude surge currents and are
more prone to adverse parasitic
inductance effects in the mounting
leads. Minimizing the shunt path of
the lead inductance and their V= -
Ldi/dt effects will optimize the TVS
effectiveness.
Examples
of
optimum installation and poor
installation are illustrated in figures
3 through figure 6.
Figure 3
illustrates
minimal
parasitic
inductance with attachment at end
of device. Inductive voltage drop is
across input leads. Virtually no
“overshoot” voltage results as
illustrated with figure 4. The loss of
effectiveness in protection caused
by excessive parasitic inductance is
illustrated in figures 5 and 6. Also
see MicroNote 111 for further
information on “Parasitic Lead
Inductance in TVS”.
