High Energy Radial Lead Varistors
Features
The C-III Series of metal-oxide varistors are specifically
designed for high surge energy absorption ratings. This is
achieved through a special dielectric material formulation
which also results in higher repetitive surge ratings than
other MOV types.
• Recognized as “Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors” to
UL 1449; File # E75961, Second Edition
