{486} TVS Diode Test, What is, & How To Test TVS Transient Voltage Suppressor, Transil or Thyrector

in this video i explained TVS Diode Test, What is, & How To Test TVS Transient Voltage Suppressor, Transil or Thyrector , TVS Diode Explained, What is #TVS #Transient Voltage #Suppressor. tvs diode is a transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diode, also transil or thyrector, is an electronic component used to protect electronics from voltage spikes induced on connected wires. TVS diodes are used in circuits to protect against over-voltage surges and the effects of arcs, EFT (Electrical Fast Transients), ESD (Electrostatic Discharge), inductive load switching, and even lightning strikes.
These components are advantageous compared to standard diodes as they feature a bigger P-N junction cross-sectional area. This larger design means that TVS diodes can conduct greater currents to the ground safely, minimising the potential for harm. They also offer a speedy reaction to high transient spikes, quickly working to suppress the Voltage and ensure circuits are protected.
tvs are available in unidirectional protection, to be used in dc circuits, and bidirectional for ac circuits
