Protection Devices in ECGs: Zener Diodes Diode: device that conducts electricity in one direction only Zener Diode: Turns-On when a minimum voltage is
{"Image DocumentName": "Protection Devices in ECGs: Zener Diodes", "Image ImageDescription": "Diode: device that conducts electricity in one direction only. Zener Diode: Turns-On when a minimum voltage is reached so in this configuration if a large voltage is applied (ie defibrillator) the zener diode will allow current to flow and shunts it to grounds thus current goes to ground and not to the amplifiers.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
