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 to 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”.
