V180ZT20PX2855

A Varistor, also known as a varistor, is a solid state voltage dependent resistor. It is a three-terminal device which is used to protect electrical and electronic equipment from transient voltage transients. The V180ZT20PX2855 is a leaded device specifically designed for the transient voltage suppression market and has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. This device is manufactured using the latest Low-Inductance (LOW-IND™) technology.

The V180ZT20PX2855 device absorbs the electrical energy generated by a surge or spike of voltage or current, and it also limits the magnitude of the voltage to a predetermined value. It is specifically designed to operate in the power line AC and DC power systems. It can provide a 2100 VAC surge energy absorption for 1 year and a grading of 18 V/700 W peak let-through voltage.

The V180ZT20PX2855 is an ideal choice for over-voltage protection in applications where a low clamping voltage is desired. It is most commonly used for protecting consumer electronics from voltage spikes and surges due to lightning, electric or EMI/RFI Voltages. It is also suitable for automotive, power, and communication applications.

The working principle of the V180ZT20PX2855 has been based on a different kind of principles. It works on the principle of self-restoration, which means that when the varistor is exposed to a voltage or current transient, it is capable of reducing its impedance so that the transient energy is dissipated quickly. The internal structure of the V180ZT20PX2855 varistor consists of a dielectric material between two metal plates which contains a large number of zinc oxide elements.

When the transient voltage or current enters the varistor, the zinc oxide elements are compressed thus reducing the varistor\'s impedance. This reduction in impedance is what allows the transient voltage or current to dissipate quickly. The V180ZT20PX2855 is capable of handling relatively large transient voltages or currents up to 2,100 VAC which helps to protect the circuitry during massive power surges or lightning strikes.

The V180ZT20PX2855 can also provide a maximum power dissipation of up to 700W and is capable of clamping voltages down to 18V. It is also able to provide transient protection to a wide range of power sources and can be used in a variety of settings from power, automotive, computer, and other applications which might be sensitive to transient voltages.

In conclusion, the V180ZT20PX2855 is designed to protect electrical and electronic equipment from transient voltage transients and to provide reliable over-voltage protection for various applications. It can provide a good range of voltage suppression and reduce the possibility of equipment damage resulting from surges or spikes. Its Low-Inductance (LOW-IND™) technology reduces inductive effects while providing an efficient solution for its application.
