Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) as one nonlinear resistance element is mainly
made of zinc oxide (ZnO), which has very high surge capacity and big nonlinear
coefficient. Below the threshold voltage, its resistance is very high, nearly no
current flows through, but above the threshold voltage, the resistance reduces
sharply, huge current can be discharged. Due to this characteristic, varistor as
a protection component in electronic and electrical equipment can absorb
abnormal over-voltage and lightning surge.
SETsafe | SETfuse varistor is with High Surge Current Density, Low Clamping
Voltage, and Good Surge Capacity. It can also be customized as required.
Peak Current (Imax): 3 ~ 20 kA Upper Category Temp. (UCT): 85 °C
