Application areas of onboard surge protective devices

   With the widespread use of electronic equipment, surge protective devices play an increasingly important role in various fields. Among them, the board-mounted surge protective device, as a compact and efficient surge protection device, has been widely used in many fields. This article will introduce the application areas of onboard surge protective devices.

1. Communication system

   Communication systems are one of the important areas where onboard surge protective devices are applied. In communication systems, due to long transmission lines, they are easily affected by surge voltages generated by lightning, switching operations, etc., resulting in equipment damage or communication interruption. The onboard surge protective device can effectively suppress surge voltage and protect the normal operation of the communication system.

2. Power system

   Power systems are another important area for onboard surge protective device applications. In the power system, due to switching operations of power equipment, lightning strikes and other reasons, surge voltage will be generated, causing damage to power equipment. The onboard surge protective device can effectively suppress surge voltage and protect the normal operation of power equipment.

3. Industrial automation system

   Industrial automation systems are another important area for onboard surge protective device applications. In industrial automation systems, due to the large number of equipment and complex circuits, they are easily affected by surge voltages generated by lightning, switching operations, etc., resulting in equipment damage or system failure. Onboard surge protective devices can effectively suppress surge voltages and protect the normal operation of industrial automation systems.

4. Home appliances

   Home appliances are another area where onboard surge protective devices are used. In household appliances, surge voltage will be generated due to lightning strikes, switch operations, etc., causing damage to household appliances. Onboard surge protective devices can effectively suppress surge voltages and protect household appliances from damage.

In short, onboard surge protective devices are widely used in fields such as communication systems, power systems, industrial automation systems, and home appliances. Its compactness and high efficiency make it an indispensable protection device in various electronic equipment. With the continuous development of electronic equipment, we believe that the application fields of onboard surge protective devices will be further expanded, providing a more powerful guarantee for the safe and stable operation of electronic equipment.
