Voltage transients on a power supply bus result from excessive fluctuations in prime power source voltage, loss of integral voltage regulation, maladjustments, series regulator faults, etc. The new LVC Series rapidly sense when a DC overvoltage is occurring and switches rapidly from an "open" to a virtual "short" circuit. Any potentially destructive energy from resultant transients is now provided with a very low resistance path around sensitive components such as ICs, transistors, etc.. The crowbar will automatically reset when the current is removed.

Transients generated by the power supply itself can wreak havoc on the downstream load. The LVC protectors install inside a power supply or between the power supply and sensitive equipment. Operating in microseconds, the LVC offers a quick, sure, economical fix.

The protectors are available in the following trip voltages: 7.5V, 18V, and 30V for 7A, 15A and 25A applications. MIL specs and other trip voltages available. Twenty-yr, "No-Nonsense" warranty.
