V385LS40CPX2855

Varistors, MOVs, and other TVS (transient voltage surge suppressors) are used in many electronic devices in order to protect them from voltage spikes and other related hazards. The V385LS40CPX2855 is example of such a device, designed to protect sensitive circuits and components from damaging current surges.

The V385LS40CPX2855 is a voltage suppressor used in a variety of applications, ranging from uninterruptible power supplies to high voltage electronic circuits. It operates in a clamping configuration, meaning that it suppresses over-voltage conditions by “clamping” onto the voltage line to absorb energy and maintain a safe level of current. It does this by using a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), as both an active clamp component and a resistive protection element.

The V385LS40CPX2855 is designed for a wide range of applications, most notably those that require high peak power handling and efficient clamping capabilities. It is rated for an operating voltage of 385 volts, with a breakdown voltage of 400 volts and a clamping voltage of 440 volts. Other features include low leakage current, fast response time, and a high surge capability with a dynamic resistance of 4 ohms.

The V385LS40CPX2855 is designed to protect circuits and components from potentially damaging surges in current. In its normal operation, the voltage supplied to the load cell is reset to a safe level after a surge in current, which limits the possibility of damage. This makes the V385LS40CPX2855 well-suited for applications involving sensitive electronic components, as it helps ensure their longevity. Additionally, it can be used to protect a wide range of AC and DC power systems.

The working principle of the V385LS40CPX2855 is relatively simple. When an over-voltage situation is detected, the MOSFET within the device will switch into a low impedance state, effectively acting as a resistor. This limits the amount of current that can flow through the device, thus protecting the components and circuits from potentially dangerous voltages. This device is also able to help reduce risk factors in high voltage applications, as it maintains a safe voltage level.

The V385LS40CPX2855 is a valuable asset for any electronic circuit that requires protection from overvoltage, and surge protection and circuit protection in general. Its small size makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, making it a great choice for protecting a variety of sensitive components from potentially damaging surge currents. The device is easy to install and use, making it a hassle-free solution for power system and circuit protection.
