Power switches feature built-in surge protection

Power switches feature built-in surge protection

The 10–A ACST10 and 12–A ACST12 ac power switches integrate surge protection that meets IEC 61000-4-5 requirements. They can be used for protecting washing-machine motors, compressors for refrigerators or air-conditioning units, or in industrial drives. The devices replace conventional electromechanical relays or triac-based power switches that require external components to prevent damage caused by voltage surges in the ac supply or by energy stored in the load.
