voltage surge

Learn about the difference between voltage surges and spikes from this article.

This protects all the circuits in your house or office from a certain range of voltage surges.

But the logic board itself, in the words of one commission investigator, "went brain dead" from the initial voltage surge.

Preventing equipment failure and loss of production caused by voltage surges is essential.

With care against overloads and voltage surges, the twin reactors might last two years.

Be sure that the product is listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor.

Spark gaps are frequently used to prevent voltage surges from damaging equipment.

Apparently the sudden load drop when New York went dark sent a damaging voltage surge through my power line.

How are voltage surges and spikes different?

It had flared though him like a voltage surge, burning in his brain like the heart of a nova.

When the voltage surges above that level, the electrical power is strong enough to ionize the gas, making it a very effective conductor.

Daisy took that out with a voltage surge, burned somebody's blueskin fingers, I hope.

"Voltage surge came from iron layer."

This improves the electric field distribution around the insulator and makes it more resistant to flash-over during voltage surges.

Besides, a voltage surge wouldn't cause this.'

Mr. Busse said a voltage surge from the lightning altered the memory of a computer in the rocket.

That sent a voltage surge lasting one-fifth of a second deep into the plant, including into the circuit from which the logic board draws its power.

An uninterrupted voltage increase that lasts more than a few seconds is usually called a "voltage surge" rather than a spike.

It specializes in industrial fuses and other equipment providing protection against voltage surges and excess electrical charges.

A voltage surge causes a spark that jumps from lead wire to lead wire across the gap left by the sawing process.

Properly applied suppression will prevent voltage surges, spikes, transients, and electrical noise from damaging the sensitive components of your equipment.

The resulting rapidly changing electric fields and magnetic fields may couple with electrical/electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges.

Nitrogen at relatively high pressure tends to be used in surge arresters, due to its short build-up time, giving the tubes fast response time to voltage surges.

The cabling used in the outside plant must also be protected from electrical disturbances caused by lightning or voltage surges due to electrical shorts or induction.

Their burning voltage was under 200 V, but they needed optical priming by an incandescent 2-Watt lamp and a voltage surge in the 5-kV range for ignition.
