Abstract: Measurement, control, and automation are critical to todays business environment. However, the electronics that enable these systems to function, and make these systems so valuable, can be vulnerable to the damaging effects of overvoltage transients. The damage can easily be seen when components or equipment has been transformed to charred ruins and slag metal, but many times the damage is not readily visible and/or may show up in the future as glitches or inconsistencies. This paper will explore the sources of these transient overvoltages, how they get into the systems, and an approach to protection of these critical systems that can, along with the technologies (and their tradeoffs) that we can employ, to greatly enhance the survivability of the electronic equipment.
