Method and system for lightning protection using distributed transient voltage suppression

摘要

A method of method of forming a wide band-gap semiconductor transient voltage suppressor (TVS) assembly (200) and a system for a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) assembly (200) are provided. The TVS assembly includes a connecting component (202) configured to electrically couple a first electrical component (204) to a second electrical component (206) located remotely from the first electrical component through one or more electrical conduits (208) and a transient voltage suppressor device (210) positioned within the connecting component and electrically coupled to the one or more electrical conduits wherein the TVS device includes a wide band-gap semiconductor material.
