Transient voltage in an automotive environment??
Transient voltage in an automotive environment??
(OP)
I am considering developing some products for the automotive industry and I need to know what kind of transient voltage spikes I have to allow for. What guidelines are there to follow or better yet, some 'rule of thumb' guidelines. I already know that the voltage is generally about 13.8 volts but that's about it.
I want to know how durable my input cicuitry has to be.
Any help would be appreciated.
Also what guidelines do I have to follow so I don't wreak havoc on the system. I don't want to pay $1000 for an SAE book.

How long are these +/-300V spikes? nanosec? 10 usec? 10ms?

I would suggest a power supply (preferably linier) to stabilise the voltage because not all auto systems are 13.8v
and some that should be aren't.
melone seems to have a lot of experiance in this so pay special attention to those posts.

Melone: how many of these pulses is the equipment supposed to handle(according to the manufacturers standards you are referring too)?
Thank you.
