TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors) are electrical components which are used primarily to protect electronic circuits from damage caused by transient voltage surges. MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors) and varistors are two components which belong to the TVS family. They both provide protection against high voltage transients and noise but differ considerably in terms of their characteristics and the application fields in which they are used.

The V360CH8 is a MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) and is specifically designed for high surge protection applications. It has the capability to absorb high surge current levels while exhibiting low let-through values for both normal and higher running currents. It has a very wide operating voltage range of up to 15kV, and is also suited to both AC and DC power supplies. Due to its impressive high surge capability, this MOV is primarily used in applications where high peak transient voltages exist such as motor drives, UPS systems, as well as high end electronic and industrial systems.

The working principle behind the V360CH8 is that of a non-linear resistive element which limits instantaneous overvoltages or spikes by presenting a low impedance path to ground. It is designed to absorb electric energy and convert it to heat, which dissipates into the surrounding environment. Due to this, this MOV can effectively divert harmful transient voltages away from the sensitive components which may be operating within the system.

The V360CH8 is composed of a highly compressed mixture of zinc oxide grains which act as resistors. This composition offers superior stability and reliable performance and can handle large amounts of energy due to its thermal conductivity. A unique feature of this MOV is its proportionately low clamping voltage - current characteristics and the ability to provide power line protection in applications with a wide range of input spikes.

The V360CH8 is also unique in that it is supplied with a bonding pad. This unique bonding mode thus prevents the risk of catastrophic failure and also helps to reduce the total cost of ownership by making it much easier to install and tested.

In summary, the V360CH8 is an MOV designed for applications with very high surge currents and voltage ranges, and its unique characteristics and design make it an ideal choice for a wide array of industrial applications. It offers low let-through values for both normal and higher running currents, and is very simple to install and test.
