Surge currents which occur when electrical circuits are switched on can cause serious damage to sensitive electronic components which may exceed their rated values unless the surge is controlled. Damaging surges may be prevented by using inrush current limiters placed in critical parts of the circuit.

Megasurge inrush current limiters are for very high power applications. With energy ratings to 900J these devices are suitable for very high power battery chargers, welding machines, compressors, toroidal transformers and high power motor controllers.

The new AS series dissipates between 43% - 25% less power than standard inrush current limiters with the same current / resistance ratings. This means the parts run cooler which increases their longevity.

Surge Gard inrush current limiters are special power NTC thermistors which are connected in series with the load. On "switch on" the thermistor limits the current due to its relatively high cold resistance. As a result of current flow the thermistor heats reducing it's value and thus limiting damaging surge currents to the load.

The LVS series is used to protect integrated circuits and other components from voltage transients. The LVS series devices are transient voltage suppression devices based on the zinc oxide ceramics with non-linear voltage-current characteristics similar to zener clamping diodes. These devices give protection from transient voltage noise in all kinds of ICs and I/O ports.
