Selenium Surge Suppressor

Carl E. Holmes Company (CEHCO)

Surge suppressors are used to protecting circuits from transients (sudden, brief increases in voltage). Transients of widely varying magnitudes are caused by such circuit components as motors, coils, magnets, relays, and transformers. They are found in all electrical systems and are notorious for damaging diodes, SCRs, transformers, triacs, and relay contacts.
