Abstract
A wide number of standard surge waves current for testing the behavior of transient overvoltage suppressor devices are currently being used. The value of pick surge current is one of the most important tests. The ratio between the surge waves to obtain a correlation factor between them, so they can be applied to get equivalent results is analyzed in this paper. The theoretical conclusions are verified by simulation and laboratory measurements.
