Automotive Circuit Protection - Part 1

[Bernd Felsche]

Links relating to load dump "phenomenon" from my browser's history
of visited links. It's only a tiny sample of what's available.
I've tried to categorize them but one or two may being the wrong
place. Other than that, the links are in no particular order.

These describe the nature of the phenomenon and includes data of
typical devices which have load dump protection, including
instruments, electronic components, alternators (as well as other
generating devices) and regulators.

Also, proven means of dealing with undesirable voltage transients at
the device and "appliance" level.
