When selecting surge protection devices for a histology lab, consider the following factors:
1. Clamping Voltage: Choose SPDs with a clamping voltage lower than the tolerance level of your equipment. 2. Response Time: Opt for devices with a fast response time to ensure quick diversion of excess voltage. 3. Energy Absorption: Ensure the SPD can absorb sufficient energy to protect against high-magnitude surges. 4. Compatibility: Verify that the SPD is compatible with the specific electrical requirements of your histology equipment.
