  2. Surge protector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_protector

    A little battery charger might include a MOV of only 1 watt, whereas a surge strip will have a 20 watt MOV or several of them in parallel. A house protector will have a large block-type MOV. Some manufacturers commonly design higher joule-rated surge protectors by connecting multiple MOVs in parallel and this can produce a misleading rating.

  3. Joule thief - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_thief

    The battery voltage is usually 1.5 V. The resistor is ~1 kΩ, 1/4 W. The transistor could be a 2N3904, BC547B, 2SC2500, BC337, 2N2222, 2N4401 or other NPN. V ceo = 30 V, P= 0.625 W. A closed-loop regulated joule thief The waveform of an operating joule thief, showing a 30% duty cycle at approximately 40 kHz

  4. IEC 61000-4-5 - Wikipedia

    It necessitates the test of surge immunity in electrical or electronic equipment. IEC 61000-4-5 defines test set-up, procedures, and classification levels. In particular, it standardizes the required surge voltage and current waveforms for laboratory testing, with the "1.2/50-8/20 μs" impulse being the most frequently used surge waveform.

  5. Uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

    The offline/standby UPS offers only the most basic features, providing surge protection and battery backup. The protected equipment is normally connected directly to incoming utility power. When the incoming voltage falls below or rises above a predetermined level the UPS turns on its internal DC-AC inverter circuitry, which is powered from an ...

  6. Transient-voltage-suppression diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient-voltage...

    A transient-voltage-suppression diode can respond to over-voltages faster than other common over-voltage protection components such as varistors or gas discharge tubes. The actual clamping occurs in roughly one picosecond, but in a practical circuit the inductance of the wires leading to the device imposes a higher limit. This makes transient ...

  7. Power strip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_strip

    A North American power strip with two USB power ports that includes a built in surge protector. A power strip (also known as a multi-socket, power board and many other variations [a]) is a block of electrical sockets that attaches to the end of a flexible cable (typically with a mains plug on the other end), allowing multiple electrical devices to be powered from a single electrical socket.

  8. Inrush current limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current_limiter

    The most popular application is the inrush protection of the AC current in switching power supplies (SPS). The primary reason for having surge current suppression in a SPS is to protect the diode bridge rectifier as the input or charging capacitor is initially charged. This capacitor draws significant current during the first half AC cycle and ...
