ROV10-180M Application Field and Working Principle

TVS (transient voltage suppressors) and MOVs (metal oxide varistors) are two types of varistors that are used in switching circuits to protect them from voltage surges and transients. They are designed to safely absorb the transient energy and to reduce the voltage spike to a safe level. ROV10-180M is one type of TVS varistor and its application and working principle will be discussed below.

Application of ROV10-180M

ROV10-180M is a type of varistor designed for use in AC applications. It is used in switching circuits to reduce the peak voltage of an incoming surge. The device is also used to protect equipment from damage due to overloads. It is often used in AC power line protection applications such as power supply units, households appliances, and other types of general-purpose equipment, to help prevent overvoltage and undervoltage surges.

Working Principle of ROV10-180M

ROV10-180M is a nonlinear resistor type of transient voltage suppressor. It is composed of a metal oxide film on an aluminum backing. When there is a voltage surge, the metal oxide films act as avalanche diodes, allowing electrons to move freely across the device. As the voltage increases, the current begins to flow in a different direction, which creates an opposite effect and counteracts the surge. This process of absorption is known as "clamping" and it limits the voltage spike to a safe level.When the voltage is within normal range, the device is in the "off" state. When the voltage exceeds its rated clamping voltage, the device will activate and "clamp" the voltage. The device will continue to function until the voltage has dropped below its rated clamping voltage.

Conclusion

ROV10-180M is a type of varistor designed for use in AC applications. It is used in switching circuits to reduce the peak voltage of an incoming surge and to protect equipment from damage due to overloads. It is composed of a metal oxide film on an aluminum backing and when the voltage exceeds its rated clamping voltage, the device will activate and "clamp" the voltage. This process of absorption is known as "clamping" and it limits the voltage spike to a safe level.
