TVS - Diodes:

TVS diodes, named for Transient Voltage Suppressor, is a specialized type of diode used to protect electronic circuitry from voltage spikes. It is an electronic device designed to protect sensitive electronics from high-voltage surges resulting from lightning and other sources. It is also known as “surge suppressor” or “lightning protection diode”.

TVS diodes work in various ways, depending on the type used and the particular application. Generally, these devices are used to limit voltage transients and to protect sensitive circuitry from current spikes. TVS diodes are used to protect a variety of devices, including microcontrollers, power converters, and gyroscopes, from electrical damage. TVS diodes are commonly used in various power supplies, telecom, automotive, consumer, and military applications.

LC36 is the model code for a Thyristor Surge Protective Device (SPD) manufactured by Littlite. It is a three-phase medium-voltage (MV) surge arrester designed for protecting power line system components and equipment from the effects of overvoltage transients. The device is rated for voltage transients up to its breaking voltage, which is 36V peak. The firing voltage of the device is 7.5V, meaning that any voltage over this will cause the thyristor to activate and provide protection from the surge.

The working principle of the LC36 is the same as other TVS diodes. When the voltage exceeds the firing voltage, the thyristor will turn on rapidly and shunt the excess current away from the protected equipment. This prevents the equipment from being damaged by the overvoltage. After the transient has passed, the thyristor reverts back to its non-conducting state and the current flow returns to normal.

The LC36 is designed for outdoor applications and can provide reliable protection against lightning or current surges in a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions. Due to its robustness, it is suitable for a variety of applications ranging from small outdoor equipment to large infrastructure network systems. The device offers improved performance and reliability over standard components used for surge protection.

TVS diodes are a widely used form of surge protection, and the LC36 is a reliable, highly-effective example of this type of device. It is designed to protect sensitive equipment from voltage transients and current surges, and is rated to handle high-voltage surges up to 36V peak. The thyristor is activated when the voltage exceeds its firing voltage of 7.5V, and deactivated when the transient has passed. The device provides a reliable and robust form of surge protection for a wide range of outdoor applications.
