AN2064 - APPLICATION NOTE
Figure 11 shows the measurement circuit used for this test series. During lightning and mains contact
tests, the surge current (I surge) injected in Tip L or Ring L (transversal tests) or both Tip L and Ring L
(longitudinal tests) has been measured. The remaining voltages at Tip S or Ring S have been also
measured (V).

The curves of the figures 12, 13 and 14 show the results, respectively, of :
- a case of lightning test
- a case of first level AC power fault test
- a case of second level AC power fault test.
These curves show no impact of both fuses and TRISIL during first level tests while the fuses open safely
during certain second level tests.
