In power electronics and complex electrical systems, high-voltage varistors are the core protectors against transient overvoltages and surge impacts. In response to the severe industrial and energy environment, we provide you with professional recommendations for high-voltage varistor models to help you build a stable circuit protection line.
When recommending high-voltage varistor models, the primary focus is on the varistor voltage (V1mA) and maximum continuous operating voltage (AC/DC). These two parameters directly determine the power level and basic safety margin applicable to the component. For example, varistors used for three-phase 380VAC systems or higher DC bus protection typically require a varistor voltage of 620V or higher.
In addition to static voltage parameters, current carrying capacity is a key indicator for measuring the performance of high-voltage varistors. High quality models can withstand surge current surges of 10kA to 40kA or even higher under 8/20 μ s waveforms, ensuring reliable operation and absorption of huge energy in extreme situations such as lightning strikes or operating overvoltages, thereby protecting expensive core equipment in the backend.
For specific high-voltage varistor models, commonly available in the market are the 11D series, 20D series, and 25D series, which provide progressively increasing energy absorption capacity through different disc diameter sizes. For example, the 14D821K model has a pressure-sensitive voltage of 820V and is suitable for general power input protection; And 20D102K or 25D102K can provide higher current capacity, which is very suitable for applications such as photovoltaic inverters, charging piles, industrial power supplies, etc. that require strict voltage and surge resistance.
Overall, the correct selection requires a comprehensive consideration of system voltage, possible surge source strength, and required protection level.
