This part of IEC 61643 specifies standard test circuits and methods for thyristor surge
suppressor (TSS) components. These surge protective components, SPCs, are specially
formulated thyristors designed to limit overvoltages and divert surge currents by clamping and
switching actions. These SPCs are used in the construction of surge protective devices
(SPDs) and equipment used in Information & Communications Technologies (ICT) networks
with voltages up to AC 1 000 V and DC 1 500 V. This doc...view more

Is applicable to avalanche breakdown diodes (ABDs) which represent one type of surge protective device component (hereinafter referred to as SPDC) used in the design and construction of surge protective devices connected to low-voltage power distribution systems, transmission, and signalling networks. Test specifications in this standard are for single ABDs consisting of two terminals. However, multiple ABDs may be assembled within a single package defined as a diode array. Each diode within the...view more
