Some specifications which define a surge protector for AC mains and some communication protection. Clamping voltage — better known as the let-through voltage. This specifies what voltage will cause the metal oxide varistors (MOVs) inside a protector to conduct electricity to the ground lin...
While a metal oxide varistor is designed to conduct significant power for very short durations (~8/20 microseconds), such as caused by lightning strikes, it typically does not have the capacity to conduct sustained energy. Under normal utility voltage conditions, this is not a problem. However, cert...
The new varistor is able to withstand up to 2000 Ampere electrical current without causing any harm to the electrical goods and is 30% cheaper. Malaysia has the second highest rate of lighting and thunder occurences (about 280 days a year) after Florida at over 300 days a year. The imapct results in...
