TVS - Varistors, MOVs

Varistors, also known as voltage-dependent resistors (VDRs), are nonlinear, two-terminal solid-state electrical components used for protection of electrical components from high voltage which are characterized by a nonlinear voltage-current characteristic. They are constructed from a ceramic-metal composite material, and they provide current, voltage and energy protection. Varistors respond rapidly and accurately to fast transients, protecting sensitive electronics against voltage spikes up to several thousands of volts.

A Metal-Oxide Varistor (MOV) is a type of varistor, composed of zinc oxide, which acts like a gas gap - providing over-voltage protection. MOVs are capable of absorbing high surge energy and provide protection to sensitive electronics from voltage transients. A typical MOV consists of a ceramic disk or ring made from zinc oxide varistor material that encases two metal grids. MOVs are one of the most affordable, and are available in a wide range of values, making them some of the most commonly used varistors for different application requirements.

The B72510S2170K62 is a Metal-Oxide Varistor designed to protect equipment and systems from transient overvoltage damage. It consists of a zinc oxide ceramic disk encased in two metal grids, with an instantaneous clamp voltage of 215 V. The B72510S2170K62 varistor has a voltage range of 17 V - 300 V, and a clamping voltage of 170 V. It can be used in a wide range of applications, including power supplies, surge suppressors, power conditioning, ac/dc converters, distributed logic control systems, and computer terminals.

The working principle of the B72510S2170K62 varistor is based on the property of its zinc oxide ceramic disk, which has a non-linear electrical resistance, preventing excessive currents from flowing in the circuits and overloading them. During normal operation, only low levels of current pass through the device, and it does not affect the electrical systems it’s connected to. But when a transient voltage spike occurs, the surge of current that passes through the varistor is absorbed without affecting the other components of the electrical system. The MOV will then act as a "constant voltage-dependent resistor," and limit the voltage of the electrical system to a safe level.

In conclusion, the B72510S2170K62 varistor is a Metal-Oxide Varistor (MOV), designed for protection of equipment and systems from transient overvoltage damage and it has a voltage range of 17V - 300V with a clamping voltage of 170V. The MOV is composed of a zinc oxide ceramic disk encased in two metal grids, and its non-linear electrical resistance property decreases the uncontrolled surge of current that occurs during transient voltage spikes. The B72510S2170K62 varistor is suitable for a range of applications, including power supplies, surge suppressors, power conditioning, ac/dc converters, distributed logic control systems and computer terminals.
