Transient suppression apparatus for potentially explosive environments

摘要: Transient suppression apparatus, which is coupleable in series with an electrical pathway into a potentially explosive environment for limiting current, voltage and energy thereto, comprises: impedance element the to conduct current environment; at least one first semiconductor second coupled upstream downstream of element, respectively. Both elements operative impose resistance governed by potential across element. A exemplary application transient apparatus system determining quantity fuel container sensor disposed sensing container; excitation each through providing signal thereto; as described directly above container.
