V82ZT2P Circuit Protection

Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) devices are utilized in different applications to protect sensitive components from damage caused by electric transients. A type of TVS device is the Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV). MOVs do not store energy and act as voltage clamps, diverting the overvoltage to ground and reducing the applied voltage to a safe voltage.

The V82ZT2P series of devices are metal oxide varistors designed to protect sensitive circuits from power surges and overloads. This device is a small, lightweight component with low operating power consumption and very low leakage current. It offers very good protection against high voltage transients over a wide operating temperature range. This is achieved by the device’s ability to quickly respond and divert the transient current away from the load.

The V82ZT2P is a low impedance varistor with a voltage rating of 150V and a peak surge current rating of 750A. It has a maximum AC operational rating of 15A @ 125VAC for 1 minute while its DC operational rating is 8A @ 150VDC. The device is suitable for use in a variety of equipment such as refrigerators, air conditioners, circuit breakers, motor controllers and many other power supplies.

The working principle of the V82ZT2P is based on the non-linear relationship between the applied voltage and the current. When the applied voltage is below the nominal threshold, no current flows and the device has a very high resistance. However, when the applied voltage exceeds the threshold voltage, the resistance of the device drops rapidly, allowing current to flow.

To ensure optimal performance, the V82ZT2P has a wide family of components with varying junction temperatures and clamping voltages. The device is also designed with various thermal management features such as low thermal impedance, thermal shutoff, and mechanical stress relief for each junction. By offering different protection levels, the device can be tailored to meet different application needs.

The V82ZT2P is an ideal solution for protecting circuits from damaging power surges and overloads. Its low impedance, low profile design provides excellent protection against high voltage transients, while its other features such as thermal management and mechanical stress relief ensure optimal performance and reliability. The device is suitable for use in a variety of applications ranging from refrigerators to motor controllers.
