TVSS, or Transient Voltage Surge Suppression, is a critical component to protect electrical equipment from voltage spikes. However, there are several other terms that can be used as synonyms for TVSS, including surge protection, voltage surge suppressors, transient voltage suppressors, and lightning arrestors. Each of these terms describes a device that protects against power surges that can result from lightning strikes, power outages, or other electrical disturbances. These devices work by redirecting the excess voltage away from sensitive equipment, reducing the risk of damage or data loss. Regardless of the terminology used, it's essential to have a robust TVSS system in place to safeguard your equipment from potentially damaging power disturbances.
