ERZ-E10A102CS

The ERZ-E10A102CS is a type of varistor – a voltage-dependent resistor that is designed to protect against overvoltage transients. Varistors are also commonly known as Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) due to their construction from zinc oxide granules that are sandwiched between two layers of metal electrodes. The ERZ-E10A102CS MOV is designed to withstand operating voltages up to 600 VAC and can handle transient spike voltages of up to 10,000 V.

Varistors are widely used in a variety of applications where overvoltage protection is necessary, such as power supplies, computer systems, telecommunications equipment, automobile electronics, and other industrial and consumer electronic products. The ERZ-E10A102CS MOV can provide reliable overvoltage protection for a wide range of applications, such as computer systems, medical equipment, and automotive electronics.

Varistors are designed to operate through a process called "frequency clamping". This process occurs when the varistor is exposed to an overvoltage transient and the varistor quickly reduces the surge voltage to a lower value. The clamping voltage is determined by the varistor\'s particular electrical characteristics. The ERZ-E10A102CS MOV is designed with a frequency clamping voltage of 850 V, meaning that it will reduce an overvoltage spike of up to 10,000 V to 850 V.

Varistors are designed to divert overvoltage transients away from sensitive components and provide a robust form of protection against harmful voltage surges. The ERZ-E10A102CS MOV provides superior overvoltage protection by quickly clamping transient fault voltages to a much lower voltage, thus protecting sensitive components from possible harm.

Varistors are also designed to have a high surge capability to protect against fast, high voltage transients. The ERZ-E10A102CS MOV is designed to withstand energy waves up to 40 Joules and has a maximum non-repetitive peak pulse current rating of 1,000 A. When exposed to a transient event, the varistor will absorb the energy from the transient and dissipate the energy as heat. The ERZ-E10A102CS MOV is designed to withstand temperature changes up to +125°C.

The ERZ-E10A102CS MOV is a versatile and reliable component that can provide superior overvoltage protection to a wide variety of sensitive equipment. Its robust design, high surge capability, and frequency clamping properties make it an ideal choice for providing reliable overvoltage protection in a variety of applications.
