How to Read MOV TOV Data: Temporary Withstand Is Not MCOV
If a datasheet states 1.25 per unit for 1 second, the duration and voltage reference are part of the rating. ...

Can an MOV AC MCOV Be Calculated Directly From Its DC Rating?
No. Dividing a metal oxide varistor's maximum DC operating voltage by √2 does not create an allowable AC rating. The ...
How Should MOV Leakage Current Be Read From a Datasheet?
A leakage-current figure in an MOV datasheet is easy to misuse. A few microamperes can look like a fixed property ...
Why an MOV Joule Rating Cannot Be Compared Without the Waveform
Two MOVs carry the same joule rating. Does that mean they can absorb the same surge and be exchanged directly? ...
How Should MOV Temperature Derating Be Applied?
Learn how to apply MOV temperature derating to operating voltage, surge current, energy and average power without misreading the operating ...
