TVS - Varistors, MOVs is a category of highly reliable and essential components used in a wide range of electronic design applications. The VE17M00131KHE is a MOV Enclosed Varistor designed to protect circuits against overvoltage transients. It is designed and manufactured according to the EN 60721-3-3 standards.

The application field for the VE17M00131KHE includes protection of installation from electrical overvoltage, surge and transient voltages such as power line transients, telecom lines, etc. It is also suitable for circuit protection within audio/video equipment, computers, medical devices, industrial equipment and certain communication and power LED lighting systems.

To understand the working principle of the VE17M00131KHE we must first understand what a MOV (MetalOxide Varistor) is. MOVs are non-linear, semiconductor devices that contain a metal oxide layer. This type of layer has a vacancy of electrons and an area of high electrical resistance, and when a voltage is applied, it quickly begins to conduct electricity. The resistance offered by the MOV is determined by the amount of electrical charge that is allowed to flow through it. Thus, when a large amount of energy is detected by the MOV, it suddenly starts to conduct more current, acting as a short circuit and diverted most of the destructive transient energy.

The VE17M00131KHE encloses a single MOV in a case that provides direct and effective protection from electrical overvoltage. The unit is designed with high performing MOVs that are provided with a rated voltage that has significant energy absorption capability. This rated voltage is always slightly higher than the normal operating voltage of the protected device. This ensures that the protection circuit kicks in before the equipment starts to suffer from any damage.

The MOV’s rated voltage is between 80 to 330Vrms and the loaded capacitance is between 30 to 470pF. It is also designed with an optical alert output that is triggered when the device fails due to high current or overvoltage. This helps in detecting any future equipment malfunctions caused by these issues.

The VE17M00131KHE is a reliable and versatile option for handling high voltage transients and surges. It is also designed to resist shock, vibrational forces, and other environmental factors that typically are associated with the electronics application field. It is fully compliant with the RoHS directive and is designed to meet the industry requirements for high reliability solutions.
