1. Summary
Transient Limiter is an accessory that protects input circuitry of instrument from transients and accidental overloads. The EM5010A Transient Limiter is a unidirectional, solid-state, passive device whose frequency range is 9kHz to 500MHz. It consists of a diode limiter, a 10dB attenuator, and a high-pass filter.
