Answer by Spehro Pefhany for TVS diode for surge protection: how does it...
You can use a bigger TVS if the duration of your pulse is long. This part is a smallish (600W rating) SMD TVS. A real current of 500A at (say) 300V clamping voltage = 150kW blow the leads off the part...

1) no, your source is an ideal voltage source. Every source in the real world has some series resistance. So in practice less current will flow but often still enough to blow the TVS.2) Not on its own....

TVS diode for surge protection: how does it works beyond Ipp point?
I need to protect the schematic from the surge transient voltage 1.0 kV 1.2/50 us (standard surge model).To accomplish this I planned to use two SMBJ200CA TVSs in series at the input and make all...
