Introduction to MOVs Metal Oxide Varistors, commonly known as MOVs, are voltage-dependent, nonlinear electronic components used for protecting circuits against voltage spikes and transient surges. They act as a variable resistor, maintaining a low resistance during normal operation and rapidly increasing their resistance when exposed to high-voltage transients. This tutorial […]
Introduction to Surge Protector Circuits Surge protector circuits are essential components in electrical and electronic systems to safeguard sensitive equipment from damaging voltage spikes and transients. These circuits are designed to limit the voltage supplied to an electric device by either blocking or shorting to ground any unwanted voltages above […]
