Assertion: diode's voltage | /r/CapableOf | exceed the breakdown voltage
Facets:
Source sentences:
text: If the reverse voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, a large current flows and the LED will be damaged.
text: The reason the breakdown voltage of a zener diode is so important is because once the voltage that falls across a zener diode exceeds its breakdown voltage, the voltage across the zener remains constant, even if the current going through the zener diode continues to increase.
text: They're designed to shunt currents and absorb energy when voltages exceed their breakdown voltage.
text: But when it is operated in reverse biased and the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage the diode gets damage.
