What is a KVR Metal Oxide Varistor?
A metal oxide varistor, or MOV, is a voltage dependent, nonlinear device that provides excellent transient voltage suppression. When exposed to high transient voltage, the metal oxide varistor clamps voltage to a safe level. A metal oxide varistor absorbs potentially destructive energy and dissipates it as heat, thus protecting vulnerable circuit components and preventing system damage.
KVR metal oxide varistor devices are made primarily of zinc oxide with small amounts of bismuth, cobalt, manganese, and other metal oxides. They can be connected in parallel for increased energy-handling capabilities. MOVs can also be connected in series to provide higher voltage ratings or to provide voltage rating between the standard increments.
What is the KVR TMOV Metal Oxide Varistor?
The KVR TMOV thermally protected metal oxide varistor series represent a new development in integrated circuit protection. This version is comprised of radial leaded MOVs with an integrated thermally activated element designed to open in the event of overheating due to the abnormal overvoltage, limited current, conditions outlined in UL 1449.

Finally, welcome to buy KVR varistors and SPD.
