6. Description • Varistors are voltage dependent non-linear devices with an electrical behavior similar to back to back zener diodes. • When exposed to a transient voltage, the varistor’s impedance changes from open circuit to conductive and diverts the current to ground.

7. Electrical Behavior Varistor VI Characteristics

8. Electrical Behavior The varistor also limits or “clamps” the voltage peak to a safe level for the equipment being protected. Voltage transient

9. What are Transients and Risks? • Fast rising voltage surges, reaching their peak in µs. • Associated current surge up to 2-3ms in duration. • Risks are: • Semiconductor device destruction • Malfunction of logic circuits • Diminished dielectric strength of insulations • Impaired electromechanical contacts

14. Construction • Thickness = Voltage rating • Diameter = Energy rating • Volume = Power rating

15. Selecting the Varistor • Requires knowledge of the electrical environment. • Approximations usually are made. • Assessments may need to be made by a design engineer.

16. Selecting the Varistor • Determine the steady-state working voltage of the circuit. • AC rating - maximum continuous sinusoidal voltage that may be applied, including any high line fluctuations. • DC rating - max. continuous DC voltage that may be applied - typically about 95% of the peak recurrent AC voltage. • Determine the Power rating needed for the component. • Determine the size needed for the application.

17. Selecting-Define circuit capabilities • < 7 mm: -On PC board protections( <2A). • < 14mm: -AC power input of small size device( < 10A). • < 20mm: -AC power input of medium size device( < 25A). • > 32mm: -Circuit breaker at building entrances or input side of high current devices( >25A).

18. Selecting-Load capabilities • Clamping voltage is the voltage that the MOV allows the protected system to “see”, also known as voltage passed. • Clamping voltage required depends upon the system protected. • Refer to V-I Curves.
