V360ZT05PX2855

V360ZT05PX2855 is a type of Varistor, MOVs (Transient Voltage Suppressor) component, typically used in power systems around households and companies. MOVs have the unique ability to absorb transients or surges in current and dissipate the dangerous electrical energy without being damaged themselves. This series is an advanced version and able to absorb a large amount of current from very high voltages which would otherwise cause damage or destruction to other components.

Varistors, or voltage dependent resistors (VDRs), are non-linear two-terminal devices composed of zinc oxide particles which exhibit a positive temperature coefficient. Varistors are commonly used as voltage protection or transient voltage suppression devices. They are capable of attenuating a large amount of energy in a short period of time and allowing small amounts of current to pass during normal operating conditions. This makes them useful for protecting sensitive electronics from surges or overvoltages from a malfunctioning circuit. Additionally, they can also be used as power line filters which help reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) from getting into the electronic devices.

The V360ZT05PX2855 series is designed to provide transient voltage protection in power systems up to 2000 volts of direct current. These MOVs are designed to automatically absorb surges in current up to a maximum of 52.2 watts, while the maximum continuous operating voltage is 300 volts. The peak voltage withstand level is also 16% higher than normal. The dielectric strength is rated at 3000 volts, meaning that the component can withstand voltage spikes or surges up to 3000 volts.

The series features dual-function thermal protection, allowing for higher thermal impedance and effective heat dissipation capabilities. It has the ability to self reset when the operating temperature drops back to normal. The thermal cycle protection comes with an LED indicator which changes color from green to red when the device goes into protection mode.

In terms of design, the V360ZT05PX2855 series is offered in a two-lead wrap-around package which allows for better heat dissipation and improved efficiency. It has a flat bottom design which makes it compact and easy to install. The components are environmentally friendly and do not contain any halogenated flame retardants.

The working principle of the V360ZT05PX2855 series is fairly simple. When an excessive voltage is applied to the component, it creates an electric field across the zinc oxide material which is composed of several layers. The electric field produces heat which is then dissipated by thermal conduction. This causes a decrease in the applied voltage which protects other components from being damaged or destroyed. The device also contains a thermal protection switch which activates when the device reaches its maximum safe temperature. This shuts off the electricity current and resets the device back to its normal operating temperature.

In conclusion, the V360ZT05PX2855 is a high-performance varistor, MOVs component which is designed for effective voltage protection in power systems for household and commercial applications. These components are designed to absorb surges in current and dissipate the electrical energy while keeping the components safe from destruction or damage. They have excellent thermal and electrical stability, along with an LED indicator to notify when the device has gone into protection mode. It is an environmentally friendly component which is easy to install and very reliable.
