On Semiconductor Surge Suppressors
Surge suppressors are designed to protect electronic equipment from power surges and spikes in voltage that can lead to serious damage or destruction. These devices are typically used to protect computers, modems, and other sensitive electronic equipment, and they come in various forms with different degrees of protection. Surge suppressors work by diverting excess voltage away from the connected device, either by redirecting the voltage to ground or by clamping the voltage to a safe level. They also employ a variety of filters and components that can absorb energy from high-voltage spikes so the equipment remains safe.
