Control Techniques 24823291 Varistor
Product Description :
- It is an electronic component used to protect circuits from voltage spikes or surges. It works by changing its resistance in response to the voltage applied across it.
- The resistance decreases significantly when the voltage across it exceeds a certain threshold known as the “clamping voltage” or “breakdown voltage.”
- When a voltage spike occurs, the varistor’s resistance drops, allowing it to conduct excess current and thereby protecting the rest of the circuit from high voltage. Once the voltage returns to a normal level, the varistor’s resistance increases back to its high value, preventing current flow.
- A varistor is an electronic component designed to protect electrical and electronic circuits from voltage surges and transient spikes. Also known as a Voltage-Dependent Resistor (VDR), it exhibits non-linear resistance, allowing it to absorb sudden overvoltage and redirect excess current away from sensitive components, thereby preventing damage.
