Home /Internal Lightning /Water AnalogyWater Analogy：Illustrates behavior of surge current and feature of SPD using waterways and water gate.
You can imagine how SPD works to protect equipment by these illustration.
Decrease voltage diffenrece
Analogy for surge current coming to power lines.
Pressure in route
Pressure to equipment
The gate opens
Analogy in case of hihg earth potential

Pressure to equipment
The gate opens
SPD works like water gate in waterway. Gates open if water pressure becomes high level.
Surge current due to direct strike and induce current from othre lines.
Direct water
Indirect water
