The 1N6164A is a bidirectional Zener TVS diode from Microchip Technology, rated for a reverse standoff voltage of 62.2V and a peak pulse power of 1500W for a 10/1000 µs waveform. The standoff voltage is the maximum DC or AC peak the protected line can carry without the diode conducting appreciable leakage — a 62.2V rail or a 48V nominal bus with transients fits here. The 1500W rating tells you the device can absorb a single 13.3A pulse before the junction temperature climbs past the safe limit. Clamp voltage is 112.8V at that peak current.
