Suppression Voltage Suppression voltage, also known as clamping voltage, is the threshold voltage at which a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) or surge protector device begins to conduct and divert excess voltage away from sensitive electronic equipment. In laser engraving systems, suppression voltage plays a crucial role in protecting delicate electronic components, such as laser tubes, power supplies, and control circuitry, from damage caused by voltage spikes, surges, or electrical disturbances.
TVSS devices are designed to limit the voltage across connected equipment to safe levels, preventing overvoltage conditions that can lead to equipment failure, downtime, or data loss. Understanding and specifying the appropriate suppression voltage rating for laser engraving systems is essential for ensuring reliable operation and safeguarding equipment investments against electrical hazards. |
