GadzialaINTRODUCTIONGeneral Electric has been helping customers solve transient voltage problems since the introduction of the GE-MOV Varistors in 1972. The GE-MOV team is constantly researching the causes and effects of transients and developing new solutions to meet all types of transient suppression needs committed to innovation beyond today s technology.As the field of electronics has grown rapidly through the use of solid-state components so have the applications for surge suppressors to protect these transient sensitive devices. Innovations such as surface mount technology have also altered the demand profile by adding packaging considerations tp functional ones.As a result of innovation and research GE s line of metal oxide varistors has expanded to include surface mount devices new high energy packages and connector pin varistors and high temperature low profile varistors. These new products supplement the GE-MOV line of radial axial and high energy packaged varistors already the broadest in the industry.Just as the world of surge suppression has changed you will find many changes in the Fifth Edition Transient Voltage Suppression Manual new applications information updated product specifications expanded technical data on varistors and more. This manual reflects our commitment to excellence in transient voltage suppression technology and determination to give customers optimal design choices for their electronic component needs.Illustrated Charts Graphs Schematics and Waveforms Switch Arcing Voltage Escalation During Restrikes Transistor Switching Transient Transients on A.C.
