A: ZENERS are nothing else then regular diode that have a very predictable reverse breakdown voltage of xx volts. This voltage can be used to limit the input voltage or regulate on it.

∙ 16y agoHi,
A rated breakdown voltage is the voltage that exceeds the designed voltage for a device. If for instance, a device has a rated breakdown voltage of 100 volts DC and you apply 200 volts, the odds are excellent that it will go into catastrophic failure, by either shorting out or creating an open circuit. Neither is desirable.
Hope this helps,

What is the break down voltage point for a zenerdiode?
The breakdown voltage point for a Zener diode is 17 volts
Why doesn't zener diode have negative resistance?
because of its high break down voltage.
What is the difference between cut in and break down voltage?
what is the difference between cut- in and cut -out
When excessive voltage is applied to a capacitor it will break down What factor of the capacitor has the greatest effect on breakdown voltage?
The dielectric material between the plates.
What is under-voltage tripping?
The Voltage of the power supply system is rated at its designed value. If this voltage goes down predetermined set value a under voltage relay can sense the change and then trips off the circuit.
The more voltage that is required to break down an insulator the greater its?
The more voltage that is required to break down an insulator, the greater is its
What is the break down voltage point for a zenerdiode?
The breakdown voltage point for a Zener diode is 17 volts
Break down occurs in diode because of?
reverse voltage applied
Explian action of zener diode as a regulator?
Zener predicatively will break down at a voltage as manufactured and sustain that voltage as long as the source can provide the current. The limitation is the zener power dissipation for each device. It Regulates by maintaining that breakdown voltage until its current is reduced or its break down voltage is reduced.
Does the material of the diode depends on break down voltage?
A Germanium diode has a much lower breakdown voltage than a silicone diode.
A zener diode operates in?
In a reverse bias higher than the break down voltage.
Why doesn't zener diode have negative resistance?
because of its high break down voltage.
What is the difference between cut in and break down voltage?
what is the difference between cut- in and cut -out
What is rated voltage and current in transformers and how to calculate them if given 50k VA?
Rated voltage is the voltage at primary side. Rated current can be found from the equation, Rated Current= Output KVA / Output rated voltage
What do you mean by peak reverse voltage of semiconductor diode?
Peak reverse voltage of a diode is the maximum reverse bias voltage can be applied to diode which does not cause break down.
Break down voltage?
The breakdown voltage of an insulator is the minimum voltage that makes it partially conductive electrically. On the other hand, the breakdown voltage in a diode refers to the minimum reverse voltage to cause it to conduct in reverse.
Can i use 12v -0-12v to 230v step up transformer to get more voltages let say 2000v?
If you exceed the rated voltage of your transformer, there is a high possibility that its insulation will break down and you will ruin that transformer.
