			The Power Guard Phidget 30V 5A (SAF2020) protects both your system from power surges caused by motors.

	~~The SAF2000 protects both your power supply and your~~ device ~~from voltage spikes caused by reverse EMF generated by braking and reversing DC motors. In the event of such~~ a ~~surge, it prevents~~ current ~~from~~ flowing back into the power supply ~~and clamps~~ the powered device~~'s supply voltage to a maximum of 37V, dissipating the excess power until the surge has passed~~.		This device uses a diode to prevent current flowing back into the power supply, so expect a slight drop in the voltage seen by the powered device when in normal operation.
