Air Conditioning (A/C) applications are areas where a lot of energy is needed in a short time, and require extra protection from voltage and current surges. Anti-surge components such as Thyristor Surge Suppression (TVS) Diodes can be used in A/C applications to provide such protection. This article will discuss the application fields of TVS Diodes and how they work.

Application Fields

TVS Diodes are applied in A/C applications where there is a risk of voltage or current surges. In these applications, TVS Diodes protect the A/C unit from voltage and current spikes, and can also help to maintain consistent power supply for the system. These diodes can be used to protect A/C units from power line surges, lightning strikes, or any other unexpected spike in voltage or current.

Design Considerations

When selecting TVS Diodes for an A/C application, the design should consider the system’s requirements for surge and EMI protection. The requirements of the system include the maximum surge current to be withstood, the leakage current, the clamping voltage, and the response time of the surge protection. Additionally, the designer should select a device that is compatible with the A/C unit’s power supply.

How TVS Diodes Work

TVS Diodes are voltage-dependent devices, which means they become actively conducting devices when the voltage across the diode reaches a certain threshold. When a voltage spike occurs, the diode will trigger and become conductive, diverting the energy away from the sensitive electronics of the A/C unit. Once the spike has passed, the diode will become non-conductive and the normal power supply will resume, without any damage to the electronics.

TVS Diodes offer protection against voltage and current spikes, and can be used in A/C applications to protect the sensitive electronics of the unit from surges. When selecting the TVS Diode for the application, the designer should consider the system’s surge requirements, as well as the device’s compatibility with the power supply.
