IEEE Unapproved Draft Std P62.32_D12, Nov 2009 IEEE Draft Standard Test Methods for Avalanche Junction Semiconductor Surge-Protective Device Components
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
Scope
This standard applies to the avalanche breakdown diodes used for surge protection on systems with voltages equal to or less than 1000 V rms or 1200 V dc. The avalanche breakdown diode surge suppressor is a semiconductor diode which can operate in either the forward or reverse direction of its V-I characteristic. This component is a single package, which may be assembled from any combination of ser...
