When lightning strikes an object or installation, it can lead to failure on electrical installations or individual electrical components. To protect the devices from damage, we include an overvoltage protection in the circuit, which removes the current, that is induced by a lightning strike. By doing so, we can protect the elements from lightning strikes (including the motor for blinds). In my degree I will present the basics of lightning strike. Then I will present the types of surge protectors and their use. I will explain the functioning and development of overvoltage protection for motorized blinds. With the help of electronic simulations (LTspice) I have designed the functioning of the whole circuit. I have continued the development with the help of protoboard on individual parts of the circuit. I have designed the circuit with the help of a frequency regulator, and I have performed measurements on individual parts of the circuit with an oscilloscope. When the circuit was working properly, I have connected it to real parameters (230 VAC). After doing lab tests and simulations, I have fixed some mistakes that I did during the process of developing. This way, I obtained results that correspond to the required certificates.
