What does MOV stand for?

The metal oxide varistor can be connected in a parallel formation in order to increase its life expectancy and current capability.

2]T fuses fast acting fuses that protect the SCRs * MOV protection -- Metal Oxide Varistor circuit that protects the SCRs from excessive transient voltage * Heat sink -- typically, a finned aluminum extrusion and mount for SCRs that conducts away heat * Cooling fan -- forced convection cooling of the heat sink * Connection lugs -- load connection terminals and grounding lug * Assembly mount -- plate or panel for mounting the SCR assembly in an enclosure Physical size The SCR power controller is one of the larger components of a heat control system.

An individual thermal cutoff on each metal oxide varistor protects against temporary overvoltage conditions and ensures clean end-of-life performance.

GE Energy's series compensation systems include capacitors, metal oxide varistors, triggered air gaps, and a fully redundant digital protection & control system based on a GE FANUC programmable logic controller.

Most existing transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) devices -- metal oxide varistors (MOV), silicon avalanche diodes, selenium cells, gas discharge tubes and hybrid surge suppressors -- are based on a two-decade-old technology.

Zoom's lightning protection circuit has proven to be significantly more effective in preventing electrical surge-induced modem failure than Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) protection devices.

Adding the Suppression Products Group's metal oxide varistor, multi-layer varistor and silicon-based protection technology platforms further strengthens our position as the leading supplier of circuit protection solutions and devices in the industry.
