VDRS14T140TSE

TVS – Varistors, MOVs are used to guard electronic systems against transients. The VDRS14T140TSE is one type of Varistor, with a working principle based on voltage-dependent resistor behavior. The device has a Nonlinear Bi-directional resistance, giving it the ability to absorb voltages spikes and surges.

When placed across a DC power supply or a point in the AC mains, the VDRS14T140TSE acts as a surge suppressor. When exposed to positive and negative surges, the device can quickly oppose the voltage and absorb the energy from the surge, preventing the attached electronics from being burned out.

The VDRS14T140TSE is typically designed to be used in AC mains power lines or other power systems. Due to its large resistance dynamic range, the device can cover input voltages between 5-425V, with an operating temperature of -40 to +85C. The peak pulse current can reach a rated value of 14A, with a 10/1000μs pulse waveform.

Installation of the VDRS14T140TSE is quite straightforward. It’s important to ensure that the voltage at the device is never above 425V, as this could damage the components. If higher voltages need to be protected, then the device needs to be used in series with other protective devices. The device is usually placed between the ground line of the AC mains and the load device, or in a parallel connection to the power source.

The VDRS14T140TSE can be used in a variety of circuits, including automotive and industrial applications. In automotive applications, it can be used to protect car electronics from transient surges due to electrical noise, spark plugs, or other inductive devices. In industrial applications, it can be used to protect critical components from large-scale power interruptions or voltage surges.

The VDRS14T140TSE device, like any other TVS – Varistors, MOVs, can be used to protect electronic systems from transient surges. It is designed to have a large resistance dynamic range, with an operating temperature of -40 to +85C and a peak pulse current of 14A. Installation is quite straightforward, and the device can be used in automotive and industrial applications to protect against transient electrical surges.
