Working Principle

V120ZA05PX2855 is an overvoltage protection device that is composed of silicon-based nonlinear components. These components have a variable breakdown voltage, which depends on the amount of current passed through them. When the input voltage is higher than the breakdown voltage, the device\'s voltage clamping action kicks in and reduces the voltage to the breakdown voltage. This limits the amount of current that can flow through the system and protects the equipment connected to it from damage due to high voltage. Additionally, the device also has transient protection capabilities, which helps to protect the system from lightning strikes and other sources of high voltage transients.
