Description

The experiment P4.1.4.2 demonstrates how a Z-diode can be used to protect against voltage surges. As long as the applied voltage is below the breakdown voltage U_Z of the Z-diode, the Z-diode acts as an insulator and the voltage U is unchanged. At voltages above U_Z, the current flowing through the Z-diode is so high that U is limited to U_Z.
