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:

I = KVn
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

Features:
D High Transient Current Capability − up to 6500A D High Energy Capability
D Fast Response Time − less than 35ns D The Value for “n” is Greater
D Excellent Voltage Clamping Characteristics D Very Low Leakage Current
D Very Low Temperature Coefficient D Low Capacitance
D Low Standby Current D Low Overshoot Characteristics

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 1000s 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 20s exponential waveform.

Cautions:
NTE varistors short−circuit when subjected to surges beyond their peak current and energy ratings.
NTE varistors short−circuit when operated at steady−state voltages well beyond their voltage ratings, which may eventual-
ly result in open−circuiting leaving the circuit without protection.
The following precautions should be taken to minimize this potential hazard:
D Fusing the varistor to limit high fault currents.
D Protecting the surrounding circuitry by physical shielding.
D Locating the varistor away from other components.
