  • What does surge testing of optical modules mean

    What does surge testing of optical modules mean

    Surge testing in optical modules is a method to verify the ability of optical modules to withstand surge voltages. These weaknesses start at voltages above the operating voltage of the motor and are precursors to serious. A surge test subjects the system to voltage spikes on top of the nominal voltage input to the system. These spikes are representative of voltage fluctuations that occur from causes such as large motor drives, nearby lightning strikes, etc. High voltage deviations can cause a variety of issues when. This Technical Note summarises the recent changes to the standards that afect Burst and Surge testing. This information is a summary of the most important. Oftentimes, input IC specifications are driven by the requirement to survive surges, so any designer of front end inputs, whether power or communication, needs a strong understanding of surge protection.
