FAQ0085 ZNR Surge Absorber: I intend to connect ZNR surge absorbers in parallel to divide a large surge current. Does this approach pose any problems?

Answer

When ZNR surge absorbers are connected in parallel, a surge current may concentrate on a surge absorber with a smaller clamp voltage, in which case surge current division is hardly effective. We recommend you to choose a ZNR surge absorber that withstands a large surge current instead.
