Metal Oxide Varistors (MOV)
Description:
The NTE Metal Oxide Varistors feature a barrier layer that gives the user fast response time. These devices have a high
transient current handling capability when high voltage is applied. Static resistance is, however, very high under low voltage
conditions, permitting low standby drain currents.
The NTE 1V Series Varistors have a non−linear voltage/current characteristic as expressed by the relationship:
n
I = KV
Where I = The current in amperes
V = The voltage
K = A constant
n = A constant which shows the dependence of
the voltage V upon the current I. It is called
the voltage−dependant index

Electrical Ratings:
Varistor Voltage
The voltage across the varistor at a DC current of 1.0mA.
Energy
The maximum electrical energy which can be dissipated within the varistor by a single impulse of 10 x 1000s current
waveform with continuous voltage applied. Energy ratings are based on a shift of varistor voltage of less than 10% of the
initial value. The unit is expressed in joules.
Peak Current
The maximum current allowable for a single pulse of 8 x 20s exponential waveform.
