TVS (transient voltage suppression) devices are essential components in protecting electronic components from overvoltage surges in automotive, telecommunications, and industrial applications. The AMCV-1210H-480-T is one such component, a MOV (metal-oxide varistor) that is specifically designed to be used as a protection device in vehicles and other transportation-based applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the AMCV-1210H-480-T.

Application Field

The AMCV-1210H-480-T MOV is designed to protect electronic components from electrical overvoltage surges that may occur in different applications. These protective components are primarily intended for use in railway, automotive, and industrial applications, though they are also suitable for use in residential and commercial applications where transient surges may occur. The AMCV-1210H-480-T is designed to protect a range of components from surges with an operating voltage of up to 480 volts and a maximum surge voltage of 6,000 volts. This makes it an ideal component for protecting electrical systems from low-level surges all the way up to surges caused by lightning strikes.

Components protected by the AMCV-1210H-480-T include a variety of electrical systems and devices, such as sensors, wires, circuit boards, ECUs (electronic control units), sensors, and actuators. This wide range of protection makes the AMCV-1210H-480-T an ideal choice for protecting the sensitive electronics of vehicles, as well as other transportation-based applications. The device is also suitable for other industrial and residential applications, as it can help protect components from low-level fluctuations or human error.

Working Principle

The AMCV-1210H-480-T is composed of two metal-oxide layers connected back to back. When an overvoltage, or surge, is detected, the MOVs dissipate the surge energy by redirecting it to ground. This helps protect the components connected to the MOV from possible damage due to the surge.

The two layers of metal-oxide inside the AMCV-1210H-480-T work together in order to provide protection. When the surge voltage increases, the first layer of metal-oxide increases its resistance while the second layer increases its current. This combination of resistance and current helps to dissipate the surge, and redirect it to ground. The first layer acts as a resistor that limits the current, while the second layer acts as a short circuit that redirects the current to ground.

To ensure that the MOV can handle the surge, it has been designed with a “clamping voltage”. This is the voltage at which the MOV will activate and begin to dissipate the surge energy. The AMCV-1210H-480-T has a clamping voltage of 480 volts, guaranteeing that it will activate even if the surge voltage is as low as 480 volts.

The MOV also has a “holding voltage”, which is the voltage at which the device will remain active, even after the surge has subsided. This helps to ensure that all of the energy has been dissipated from the surge, and that the components connected to the MOV will not be affected by the surge. The AMCV-1210H-480-T has a holding voltage of 40 volts, ensuring that it will remain active even after the surge has subsided.

Conclusion

The AMCV-1210H-480-T is a specifically designed MOV that is intended for use in automotive, railway, and industrial applications. It is designed to protect sensitive electronic components from low-level surges up to surges caused by lightning strikes. Its two metal-oxide layers work together to dissipate the surge energy by redirecting it to ground, and it has a “clamping voltage” of 480 volts and a “holding voltage” of 40 volts. As such, the AMCV-1210H-480-T is an ideal component for protecting sensitive electronics from overvoltage surges.
