Looking for a good transient suppressor circuit?

(1/5) > >>

FenderBender:
Hi guys,

I've been searching and I've been seeing a whole ton of different ways to go about surge suppression. Is there an "ultimate" surge suppressor? combining all techniques of circuit protection? MOVs, PTTCs, fuses, filters, TVSs, GDTs. All those good things. Any design guides?

Thanks.

You can take a look at daves multimeter videos but I don't know how well that applies to power supplies and whatnot. I am very curious about this too.

I would love to see a tutorial for input protection to a equipment transformer...

FenderBender:
Same. I've been scouring the Internet, but I have yet to find a source that is concrete. Some explain the different types but they don't explain how to actually use them in a circuit. Some have circuits, but no insight onto how to pick the values etc.

Yea. I should do a tear-down on my rather nice power strip in order to demonstrate a somewhat decent mains protection circuit but I'm sure there are tons of tricks and traps involved.
