ROV14-511K-2

TVSs—Transient Voltage Suppressors and MOVs—Metal Oxide Varistors are two key components of surge protective devices, both are designed to prevent overvoltages that can occur in sensitive electronics.

ROV14-511K-2 is a unique metal oxide varistor (MOV) with a capacitance range of 9uF to 91uF. It is commonly used as part of a surge protection device, most often in the protection of sensitive electronic components. It is also used in other applications such as signal and data protection, as well as power line protection.

The working principle of the ROV14-511K-2 is based on the fact that it has a high capacitance rating and a high breakdown voltage. It is designed to absorb and dissipate the energy from overvoltages and high-energy surges thereby preventing damage to sensitive electronic components. When the overvoltage reaches the breakdown voltage of the MOV, it will conduct, reducing the voltage to safe levels. The amount of voltage reduction depends on the capacitance rating of the device.

In addition to providing surge protection, the capacitance rating of the ROV14-511K-2 also provides "shorting" protection. In the event of a short circuit, the MOV will react to the high current and reduce the voltage to safe levels, preventing damage to the circuit.

ROV14-511K-2 is a reliable and cost effective surge protector for sensitive electronic systems. It is available in a wide variety of capacitance ratings, making it suitable for a variety of applications. It is also easy to install and requires minimal maintenance. Its rugged construction also makes it highly resistant to mechanical and environmental stress, ensuring that it will provide reliable protection for many years.
