TVS (transient voltage suppression) and varistors, also referred to as MOVs (metal oxide varistors), are two different types of overvoltage protection components used to protect electronic components, systems, and circuits from transients. In this article, we\'ll look at the application field and working principle of the VC13MA0160KBA MOV surge protector.

The VC13MA0160KBA from Lex Products is a a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) that is made for use in very high voltage applications. It has a rated value of 160V and a maximum controlled limit of 160A. It is designed to provide effective protection against the most common transient voltages encountered in power distribution systems.

This MOV surge protector can be used in various applications, including high voltage power systems, industrial motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), power conditioning equipment, and telecom applications. In addition, it is commonly used in lightning protection systems.

The working principle of the VC13MA0160KBA is based on the "avalanche" effect of the MOV. When the voltage rating of the MOV is exceeded, its resistance drops dramatically. During this process, the MOV absorbs the excess energy and disperses it to ground, thus providing effective protection from damage due to overvoltage events.

The MOV is also equipped with an internal self-regulating feature, which allows it to reset itself after a transient event. This self-regulating feature ensures optimal performance and avoids nuisance trips.

The VC13MA0160KBA is a robust and reliable device designed for heavy-duty applications. It is resistant to temperature, humidity, and vibrations, ensuring that it will perform reliably for long periods of time. In addition, the MOV surge protector can operate between -40 and +150 degrees Celsius.

Overall, the VC13MA0160KBA is an effective and reliable protection component for power systems and telecom systems, as well as for other applications. It is designed to provide superior protection against transient voltages, and its robust design ensures that it can withstand the rigors of industrial environments.
