Varistors, also known as voltage-dependent resistors (VDRs), are important components used in the electrical industry, industrial and biomedical electronics, and consumer product designs. They’re typically found in protective circuits where they’re used as protective devices against voltage surges, keeping the system from being damaged by an overvoltage. Their most common use is to protect circuits from overvoltage by clamping it off, and by shunting excess energy to ground. Varistors provide protection from high-voltage and transient electrical disturbances and act as a form of insulation.

V8RA8 varistors are voltage dependant devices which are used to protect electronic equipment such as computers, printers and modems from electrical surges, transients and related overvoltage conditions. A V8RA8 varistor has a bidirectional voltage characteristics which gives superior protection to a variety of electrical components. This device is capable of withstanding high peak current transients and is suitable for use in harsh electrical conditions.

The working principle of the V8RA8 varistor is based on the nonlinearity of their current-voltage characteristic, which is called the "Voltage Dependent Resistor" behavior. When an electrical voltage is applied to the device, it behaves like an insulator, and its resistance does not change. As the voltage increases, its resistance decreases, forming a low-resistance path. This allows the current to flow through the device, protecting the circuit from further damage due to an overvoltage.

V8RA8 varistors are available in various shapes and sizes, from chip, plate and encased styles to custom designs to meet specific requirements. There are a variety of materials used to manufacture varistors, including Zinc Oxide, Barium Titanate, and Ceramics. Varistors offer excellent thermal and electrical characteristics, making them ideal components for high peak power applications.

V8RA8 varistors have a wide range of applications which include transient suppression, over voltage protection, and current limit protection. In addition, they are used in military and aerospace applications, communications and control systems, motor control systems, consumer electronics, electrical and medical equipment, dimmers, television sets, power supplies, and other test equipment. They are also used to protect against lightning damage in outdoor power systems.

The working principle of V8RA8 varistors is based on its nonlinear current-voltage characterisitic. When a voltage is applied, due to its nonlinear behavior, the resistance of the device is low at high voltage, but increases with decreasing voltage. This allows the current to be controlled and limit or absorb large transient currents. This provides superior protection for electronic components against overvoltage.

V8RA8 varistors are an important component used in the electrical industry, industrial and biomedical electronics, and consumer product designs, thanks to their ability to provide protection from high-voltage and transient electrical disturbances. They are available in various shapes and sizes, and a variety of materials, making them ideal components for high peak power applications.
