A switch transient spike cannot damage a doide.
A transient is a voltage spike; is occurs due to inductive and capacitive element interactions, usually due to opening or closing a switch.
Coils have the strange property that when electricity is released from them, they reverse polarity and spike the remaining current back towards the source. The diode is there to "block" this from hitting the power supply and potentially causing damage.
A transient voltage is a time varying voltage value. Transient says that the voltage value changes, especially from a steady state, to a new value, then back again.
A transient, surge, spike, etc.
A: I never heard of a spike buster but if you are from England I would understand the different terminology. The use for the spike buster is to protect the driving circuit from negative spikes generated by the relay coil as it releases the power stored in it. The DIODE [ SPIKE BUSTER] will clamp harmlessly the negative spike to .6 to .7v negative which will harm the driving circuit Without the diode hundreds of volts can be generated destroying the driving circuit
No. Quietus Spike does not deal damage, and so Overblaze does not affect it. (Quietus Spike causes loss of life, not damage)
Very often in translations from German to English the term 'free wheeling diode' for 'Freilauf-Diode' is used. Generally the correct translation for this term would be 'recovery diode'. The usage of the term 'free wheeling' only will be correct in mechanical aspects, e.g. the rear wheel of a bicycle or the clutch of the transmission line of a car.
The engine diagnostics have detected a fault. Could just be a transient spike and mean nothing but best to get the dealership to check it.
you have to climb on the chains and then you see the switch go over without hitting into a spike once you do that go over to his mouth and shoot the ice arrow in to it you have to hit him 3 times for him too die GOOD LUCK
Easy answer? Use a surge-protector. An electrical surge is a spike in power. Its essentially a voltage spike which induces a corresponding current spike in the load. Remember, power is the product of current AND voltage. To protect digital logic circuits, engineers use a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS), which works kind of like a zener diode and is designed to absorb short high power pulses. Alternatively they could build a little circuit with two diodes and a capacitor. Most surge protectors use a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) sold by GE, aka ZNR Transient/Surge Absorbers sold by Panasonic. It is equivalent to two back to back zener diodes in series. These can handle much larger current surges. In an ideal system, it would pass voltage accross to the load but sink the current, thus protecting the load from the current spike but it wouldn't do anything to the voltage spike. In the real world, the inductance of the wires used will absorb most of the voltage spike, and the MOV sinks the current spike. Some manufacturers may even add a parallel capacitor for additional filtering, and even better with a discrete series inductor.
When relay is turned the magnetic field that surrounds the coil collapses. When the current goes down rapidly the voltage goes up rapidly. A diode is placed across the coil, to dissipate this spike in voltage, in order to prevent damage to semiconductor components.
you turn off the switch by climbing the chains and dodge the spike ball and go to the middle and turn the switch
