Hello. I have what is probably a fairly simple question, but a question nonetheless seeing as I know very little to nothing about transient voltage supression and the few components used for this.
What I've got is a fairly large capacitor bank of which is rated (16v, 20v in a surge), a couple of MOSFET transistors of which are rated at a level that I do not believe require protection, and a 555 timer delay circuit.
My question is, would it be better to protect the bank using a TVS diode, a MOV, or does the bank even require protection at all? My plan is to place the device across +Vs and 0V.
the circuit in question can be found here: https://www.electro-tech-online.com/attachments/mosfet-switch-jpg.42663/
--Note, the FET's part #s have since changed.
Thankyou for your help in advance!
