Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Presents practical rules and strategies for the design of circuits in order to protect electronic systems from damage by transient overvoltages. Describes the physics of overvoltage events and presents protective procedures for a wide variety of overvoltage threats. Includes protection methods for equipment operating from mains with nominal voltages up to 1kV rms. Contains a list of manufacturers of components and equipment.
Bibliography: p. 414-429. - Includes index.
