Working Principle of B72214S1170K552

B72214S1170K552 is designed to provide both clamping (or overvoltage) and suppressing (or undervoltage) protection. The device is configured to monitor and regulate the input voltage and prevent it from exceeding a pre-set limit. In normal operation, the device dissipates the excess energy generated from transients and peak voltages. The device is designed to dissipate high spike or surge currents up to its maximum permissible clamping voltage. This ensures that the device limits the maximum voltage across the load.

When the input voltage exceeds the pre-set limit, the varistor is turned ‘on’, clamping the voltage below the peak level. At the same time, it provides suppressing action, decreasing the amplitude of current over time. This prevents further damage from transients and peak voltages. When the input voltage returns to a normal level, the varistor is automatically turned ‘off’, and the load is protected from transient voltages.

Conclusion

In conclusion, B72214S1170K552 is a variety of TVS - Varistors, MOVs that is used for a variety of applications. It is designed to provide both clamping and suppressing protection for power electronics, electronic equipment, computers and telecommunication equipment.
