Devastating
effects
Although
they only last thousandths or millionths of a second,
transient overvoltages can devastate modern electronic
systems: |
 |
disrupting
system operations, through data loss, data and software
corruption and unexplained crashes |
|
|
degrading
equipment components and circuitry, shortening equipment
lifetime
and increasing failures |
|
|
destroying
components, circuit boards and I/O cards |
|
|
causing
costly and unnecessary system downtime |
