[QUOTE="eohl79, post: 1063865046, member: 117298"] TVS diode is used to reduce transients but I am a firm believer of solving the source of the transient voltage in the first place. TVS diode is basically a Schottky diode which is connected in a back to back series fashion but opposite direction. When an over voltage condition happens, one of it will start conducting and the other operate in the breakdown voltage after reaching the voltage threshold which is the TVS voltage spec. However, it is merely dissipating the transient power as heat. That is why TVS is used to protect and not to correct an existing condition. Protection for a possible situation that might happen but not constantly occurring. So solving transients, voltage dips, problems in the electrical system is more important to me than using a VS - last resort. BTW first of all, how do you gauge how much the VS improves your car electrical system? [/QUOTE]
