MOV-20D241K

TVS - Varistors, MOVs are widely used components in electrical engineering and electronic industry. MOVs in particular are the most reliable and commonly used in applications like surge protection and power filtering. The MOV-20D241K is one such voltage dependent resistor that is specifies for use in AC power line applications.

The MOV-20D241K is capable of protecting electronic devices from high voltage transients that occur due to lightning or voltage variations due to power outages. This voltage dependent resistor is commonly used in a surge protection circuit, which is used to protect the connected circuit or device from dangerous voltage spikes and surges.

This MOV-20D241K is a thermally protected varistor that helps decrease the potential of arc caused by high voltage surge. It is designed to maintain surge specifications from the start of life until the end of life. It has more reliable and consistent performance under harsh environmental conditions. It has superior ability to handle frequency higher than 150KHz.

The working principle of MOV-20D241K is based on Varistors, the voltage dependent resistor. A varistor is basically a diode-resistor combination that is used for power surge protection purposes. The MOV-20D241K can be used in AC line filter or transient voltage suppression applications, acting as a clamp that cuts off dangerous spikes and surges.

At normal, stable voltage levels, the MOV-20D241K behaves like a resistor, which allows current to flow freely in the circuit. But, if the voltage sudden key and the threshold level of the MOV-20D241K is exceeded, then its diode-resistor combination will become a clamp which will abruptly increase the resistance and cut off the current flow. This clamping action shields the protected circuit from dangerous voltage spikes and surges.

The MOV-20D241K is primarily designed for AC line filter applications, to protect against power surges, lightning and other types of over voltage problems. This MOV-20D241K is also suitable for LED lighting protection applications as well as consumer electronics against lightning strikes and ESD strikes. It has a wide range of applications such as in power supplies, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), Inverters, Transformers, HVAC and other motors.

The MOV-20D241K is capable of withstanding high voltage and currents up to 1000 V DC and 72A respectively. The MOV-20D241K is also capable of operating over a wider temperature range, from -40°C to +125°C. The MOV-20D241K is a low cost voltage dependent resistor that is ideal for surge protection and power filtering applications in the industrial, automotive, consumer electronics and appliance markets.

In general, the MOV-20D241K is a reliable, thermally protected voltage dependent resistor that is designed for power surge protection purposes. It is capable of providing superior protection from transients, lightning and other voltage variations while also being capable of operating in a wide range of environments and temperatures. Its low cost and wide area of applications makes it suitable for use in almost any application requiring surge protection and power filtering.
