ROV10H560K-S-2

TVS - Varistors, MOVs (Transient Voltage Suppression Devices) such as the ROV10H560K-S-2 are the go-to surge protection solution used in many industrial and commercial applications, designed to protect equipment from voltage spikes. This article discusses the application fields & working principles of the ROV10H560K-S-2.

Application Field of ROV10H560K-S-2

The ROV10H560K-S-2 is most commonly used in the industrial and commercial sector, and falls in line with the standards provided by UL 1449. It can be used inside panel boards, on enclosures and perimeter walls, as well as in distribution equipment, lighting, low-voltage circuits, and communication equipment. In regards to product types, the ROV10H560K-S-2 is often used for residential and light commercial products, and is also used in heavy-duty commercial and industrial applications. Because this product meets requirements under UL 1449, it is considered to be an excellent choice for surge protection in general.

Working Principle Of ROV10H560K-S-2

The working principle of the ROV10H560K-S-2 is based on the capacitance and resistance characteristics of ZnO (Zinc Oxide) varistors. The ZnO varistor acts like a variable resistor, and it is this characteristic that protects the equipment from voltage spikes. The device acts like a spark gap, shunting excess energy away from the circuit. The ZnO varistor works as a circuit breaker, allowing the current to flow through it until the overvoltage situation is over, thus protecting the equipment from voltage spikes. When the voltage level is back to the safe level, the ZnO varistor will re-establishes the normal current flow.

Additionally, because of the ZnO varistor’s low capacitance characteristic, the ROV10H560K-S-2 is also well suited for applications involving sensitive electronic equipment. To make sure that the ROV10H560K-S-2 is protecting equipment from overvoltage scenarios, it is important to diligently analyze and monitor the requirements of the given application. In some cases, the device may need to be configured differently to ensure that it is functioning as intended.

Conclusion

The ROV10H560K-S-2 is a widely used transient voltage suppression device, capable of protecting equipment from voltage spikes safely and reliably. It is well suited for industrial and commercial applications, and meets the standards provided by UL 1449. Its low capacitance characteristics make it an ideal choice for the protection of sensitive electronic equipment. By carefully analyzing and monitoring the requirements of the given application, the device can be configured and used to ensure that it is providing optimal protection from voltage spikes and other related overvoltage power conditions.
