TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) is a vital component of electrical systems that protects against transients and surges. It is used to protect other electrical components from sudden high voltage spikes that can cause premature failure. Varistors, also known as Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs), are a type of TVS commonly used for surge protection. The VE13P00151K is a 210VAC Metal Oxide Varistor that is widely used in today’s circuitry. This article will examine the application field and working principle of the VE13P00151K Varistor.

Background

MOVs have been used for over three decades in a variety of applications and are reliable in protecting components from damaging transients. They are commonly used in automotive, industrial, aviation and residential purposes, making them one of the most widely used TVS components.

MOVs have the ability to dissipate large amounts of energy while simultaneously having a low thermal impedance. This makes them ideal for applications where a large transient voltage spike may occur and other components may not be able to sustain the stress.

The VE13P00151K Varistor is a MIL-STD-883-compliant, bi-directional Metal Oxide Varistor rated for 210VAC. It is designed to limit transient voltage spikes between -60V and +210V across its terminals while also achieving a peak energy of 109J. Its rated AC voltage is 120V with a current rating of 25A. Due to its high performance, it is highly sought after and is found in a variety of products across multiple sectors.

Application Field

Due to their robust transient voltage protection capabilities, Metal Oxide Varistors such as the VE13P00151K are widely used in a multitude of applications. It should be noted, however, that these MOVs are not suitable for all applications. It is important to select the appropriate TVS component for the application in order to ensure optimal performance.

One of the most common applications for the VE13P00151K Varistor is for AC power line filters; it is often used to protect power supplies and other sensitive electrical devices from damaging surges. It can also be used as an ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection device to protect components that may become damaged due to electrostatic discharges.

These MOVs are also widely used in high voltage industrial equipment and telecommunications systems. They are designed to protect these systems from voltage spikes and transients that could otherwise cause extreme damage.

Due to their cost-effectiveness and robustness, these Varistors are also used in residential settings. Homeowners commonly use them to protect domestic power supplies from external transients and surges, or to limit in-house lightning strikes. This ensures that the power supply remains safe and efficient at all times.

Working Principle

The VE13P00151K is a bi-directional Metal Oxide Varistor that is designed to provide effective surge protection for a variety of applications. It works by utilizing the nonlinear characteristics of certain compounds, such as zinc oxide, to protect against transient voltage spikes.

When a voltage spike greater than the Varistor’s clamping voltage is applied to its leads, it immediately experiences a large voltage drop and absorbs the excess energy. This is due to the nonlinear characteristics of its constituent compounds; when the voltage reaches the Varistor’s clamping voltage, it immediately “clamps” the voltage and limits it to a safe level.

The MOV then works to dissipate the energy it absorbed, typically done by converting it to heat and dissipating it through its own internal resistance. This ensures that the excess voltage is no longer present and that the device, and the circuit it is connected to, is protected from any further damage.

Conclusion

The VE13P00151K Varistor is a birectional Metal Oxide Varistor that is designed to provide effective surge protection for a variety of applications. It utilizes the characteristic properties of its constituent compounds to limit voltage spikes and protect components form damage. The device is widely used for AC power line filters, ESD protection, and domestic lightning protection. It can also be used high-voltage industrial and telecommunications applications.
