SMOV34S Series
Description
The Littelfuse SMOV thermally protected varistor is a self-
protected device. It consists of a 34mm square varistor with
an integral thermal disconnect designed to open in the event of
overheating due to abnormal overvoltage as outlined in UL1449
3rd edition. The SMOV helps facilitate SPD module compliance
to UL1449 and offers quick thermal response due to the close
proximity of the integrated thermal element to the MOV body.
This configuration also offers lower inductance than most discreet
solutions resulting in improved clamping performance to fast over
voltage transients.
The device has a separate micro-switch, which can be used to
indicate that the MOV has been disconnected from the circuit. This
separate switch makes the monitoring circuitry completely isolated
from the main power which ensures indicator circuit safety and
simplifies the customers circuit design.
