TVS (transient voltage suppressors) and Varistor devices (MOVs) have become ubiquitous components in the modern electronics industries. They are used in both consumer and industrial products to protect against transient voltage and other surges that could damage electronic components. The V56ZS2 is a multi-layer metal-oxide varistor, commonly referred to as an MOV, that is used as a transient voltage suppressor for a variety of applications. This article will discuss the various applications and working principles of MOVs in general and the V56ZS2 in particular.

MOVs are non-linear, bidirectional, voltage-dependent resistors (VDRs) that have a very high resistance except when a certain voltage level is reached. Once the breakdown voltage is reached, the resistance of the device drops quickly to a much lower resistance which effectively diverts, rather than blocks, the surge of electricity.

MOVs are composed of a ceramic material (usually zinc oxide) mixed with other electrically active materials and placed between two metal electrodes. The material is designed to have a specific turn-on voltage, and, during normal operation, the device maintains its high resistance, allowing a limited current flow. When a surge exceeds the device’s turn-on voltage, the resistance rapidly decreases and the surge is diverted away from sensitive components.

The V56ZS2 is a multilayer, non-linear, voltage-dependent MOV designed to protect sensitive electronic components from transient voltage surges and overvoltage conditions. It is a surface mount device, measuring 0.6 inch x 0.4 inch (15mm x 10mm) in size, and is rated to absorb up to 58V of surge energy. The device is rated for 28V operating voltage with a maximum leakage of only 300µA. The V56ZS2 is designed to provide reliable surge protection when used in conjunction with a fuse or an overvoltage crowbar.

MOVs and VDRs are used in a variety of applications such as power supply protection, overvoltage protection, motor speed control, and line protection. The V56ZS2 is suited for power supplies and filter banks. In these applications, a VDR is placed in series with one of the power lines to provide over-current and over-voltage protection. When a surge occurs, the MOV diverts the excess surge away from the components, preventing damage.

The working principle of the V56ZS2 is simple. The MOV is placed across the power lines, and it monitors the voltage between the two lines. If a surge occurs, the resistance of the device rapidly decreases and the surge is diverted away from the electronics. When the surge is over, the resistance returns to its normal state and the device is ready to protect components from the next surge.

MOVs are invaluable components in the electronics industry, providing reliable protection from transient voltage and other surges. The V56ZS2 is a popular, high-performance MOV device ideally suited for power supply protection and filter banks. It has a small size and low leakage current and is rated to absorb up to 58V of surge energy. Understanding the operation and applications of MOV devices is essential for any electronic design project.
