TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors), also known as Surge Suppressors, aim to protect sensitive electronic equipment from the potential damage that can be caused by voltage transients in the power supply. Varistors, also known as metal oxide varistors (MOVs), are one type of these devices. The B72205S2950K101 is an example of such a device, and this article will focus on its field of application and working principle.

The B72205S2950K101 is an encapsulated MOV suitable for a wide range of applications, such as in security systems, power supplies, automotive electronics, computer systems, industrial control systems and more. Featuring  clamping curves which correspond to IEC 61000-4-2 and IEC 61000-4-4 specification requirements, the B72205S2950K101 is ideal for use in mission-critical industrial and commercial electronics.

As its name implies, the B72205S2950K101 is an MOV, which means its working principle is based on the concept of a metal oxide layer with a high resistance. When normal operating levels of current flow through the MOV, it behaves like a regular resistor. If a high voltage passes through the MOV and exceeds its breakdown voltage, the MOV acts as a low resistance path and allows the excess voltage to be bypassed. The MOV is then able to “clamp” the voltage back down to its normal levels, thereby protecting sensitive components from damage.

In order to ensure that the B72205S2950K101 can operate effectively, the MOV must be properly installed. For example, as per the manufacturer’s specifications, the MOV should be installed with its body parallel to the ground and with the “+” and “-” terminals pointed in the direction of the inductive load, in order to reduce the risk of spark-over. In addition, there should be a minimum of 4mm between the MOV and the adjacent component to ensure that it operates within its specified parameters.

The B72205S2950K101 is a reliable MOV and its wide range of applications makes it a popular choice for engineers looking for a cost-effective protection solution. With proper installation and a good understanding of its working principle, engineers can use the B72205S2950K101 to ensure that sensitive components and circuits are effectively protected against transient voltage fluctuations.
