SPD 직병렬 조합회로의 열적 안정성 평가

Surge protective devices can be divided into three categories based on the circuit assembly: a parallel circuit type that considers the surge current amount within the device, a series circuit type that considers the voltage and single circuit type that uses a single element. However, when assembling SPDs, there are many things including function and safety to be taken into consideration because they are directly related to the performance and safety of the device. In this paper, we executed an experimental comparative study of performance and thermal stability of each SPD type using lightning surge generator and thermal image camera.
