English term or phrase: clamping voltage
I understand the concept, bit I can't find a specific word to describe it.

Here is the concept.
The shunt-type suppressor is measured by *clamping voltage*, a term that describes the let-through voltage.

  -> gracias María Eugenia
agree  Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT: Hm... Sí, "tensión" creo que habría sido mejor. ¡Saludos humanoides! >Hm... Sí, también estoy de acuerdo. Cristina propone algo que tiene mucho sentido con "bloqueo", pero como "bloqueo" tiene muchos significados me parece más seguro "sujeción".

  -> si, gracias Tom s. Deb¡ haber dicho voltaje o tensi¢n. Bueno, Tom s, lo que pasa es que en mx. siempre usamos voltaje y dificilmente usamos tensi¢n aunque lo entendemos. Este es un tema ya muy discutido aqu¡ y por respeto deb¡ incluir los dos.
