Question:

Is overvoltage protection the same as lightning arresters?

Is overvoltage protection the same as lightning arresters?

Answer:

Lightning arrester knowledge of overvoltage protection during a period, and the overvoltage can be divided into lightning induction over-voltage, over-voltage operation, static overvoltage, lightning arrester is mainly used in lightning induced over-voltage to do two protection.
In addition, device selection is also different. The device used for lightning protection of the antenna usually uses a gas discharge tube, and the distributed capacitance of TVS and ZNO is too large to be applied to the power supply.
Unlike electrical equipment, the ground wire of the arrester requires grounding rather than work or reference ground. Handheld (mobile) equipment does not have this distinction, but the general role of the antenna and other parts of the lightning protection, used in parts such as power supply is generally called over-voltage protection.
