Design of Transient Protection Systems: Including Supercapacitor Based Design Approaches for Surge Protectors

Design of Transient Protection Systems with Supercapacitors is the only reference to consider surge protection for end user equipment. This book fills the gap between academia and industry, combining it with new product development approaches such as the supercapacitor assisted surge absorber (SCASA) technique.

Based on practical systems to be used inside a building for protection against transients propagating into the energy supply of a given building, despite the use of protection systems used by the distribution authorities. It discusses protecting gear for modern electronic systems and consumer electronics, almost next to them or between the AC entry point and the electronics used inside the building.

Addressing the chain of design, development and implementation this title covers recent theory and practice of developing transient surge protection systems and considers all relevant technical aspects of testing commercial surge protectors, advances in surge protection products, components and the abilities of commercial supercapacitors.
