Surge Suppressor Isolation Devices

摘要

A theoretical and empirical analysis was conducted to determine the effectiveness of surge capacitors and surge arrestors in suppressing EMP-induced transients. The attenuation was found to be only 3 dB for a 10 nanosecond risetime pulse and 9 dB for a 100 nanosecond risetime pulse. For slower pulses the surge arrestors and capacitors operated normally.
