The zener diode used is rated for 12v.
Dc voltage spike protection circuit.
Here in this circuit a 9v dc source is feeding the load which is a dc motor.
The main purpose of a voltage suppression circuit is to clamp the voltage to a safe level.
The tvs circuit we will build for dc power is shown below.
Mov s are best suited for protection on bidirectional ac power supplies while zener diodes are best suited for smaller low energy dc supplies.
Dc transient voltage suppressor circuit.
A lower clamping voltage indicates better protection but can sometimes result in a shorter life expectancy for the overall protective system.
This means that if the circuit were to receive voltage above 12v the zener diode would then break down and begin conducting.
Littelfuse is the world leader in circuit protection products and services offering.
The most common form of voltage clamping devices are metal oxide varistors mov s and zener diodes.
24 v dc 1 2 28 8 v dc.
Another very simple form of over voltage protection uses an approach called voltage clamping.
Given that no varistors have a voltage.
In its simplest form it can be provided by using a zener diode placed across the output of the regulated power supply.

Also known as the let through voltage this specifies what spike voltage will cause the protective components inside a surge protector to short or clamp.
