In this article, the application field and working principle of V27ZT60PX10 will be discussed. In particular, this device is designed for over-voltage and over-current protection.

Varistors are, by definition, voltage-dependent resistor suited for over-voltage protection. Varistors usually feature a relatively high impedance when at low voltages, but when the voltage exceeds its breakdown voltage, the resistance drops significantly. This allows varistors to relieve the source of sudden over-voltage, and protect both the source and the device or system it is connected to.

The V27ZT60PX10 is a 28mm disk-shaped varistor, which can be used for both over-voltage and over-current protection applications. Its nonlinear characteristics and low capacitance makes it ideal for use in AC and DC applications. It features a rated voltage of 600V, an insulation resistance of 1000 MΩ, and a current rating of 60A. The V27ZT60PX10 also features a wide operating temperature range, from -40°C to 85°C. This feature makes it well suited for a wide range of applications in both residential and industrial settings.

The working principle of the V27ZT60PX10 lies in its nonlinear characteristic. As previously mentioned, it has a high impedance at low voltages, and this is due to the fact that the device is made up of two insulating layers and a conductive layer. The conductive layer is made up of semiconductor particles, and when the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, these particles become mobile, thus providing a pathway for current to travel. This decrease in resistance allows the device to conduct, thus limiting the voltage and current, thus preventing damage to the remaining circuit components.

Finally, it is important to note that the V27ZT60PX10 is a single component, and as such, requires very little external circuitry to operate. This makes the device highly versatile and cost-efficient, and it is thus well suited for multiple overvoltage protection applications.
