Thermally Protected
VARISTOR
PRODUCTS
The TMOV and iTMOV varistors offer quick thermal response due to the
close proximity of the integrated thermal element to the MOV body. The
integrated configuration also offers lower inductance than most discrete
solutions resulting in improved clamping performance to fast over-voltage
transients. Additionally, TMOV and iTMOV varistors are wave solderable,
thus simplifying end product assembly by reducing the expense and
rework associated with hand soldering operations.
TMOV and iTMOV varistors are compatible for use with industry standard
wave-soldering processes or recommended hand-soldering methods.

The iTMOV varistor differs from the TMOV varistor by the inclusion of a
third lead for the purpose of indicating that the MOV has been disconnected from the circuit. This lead facilitates connection to monitoring circuitry.
The TMOV and iTMOV varistors are both recognized surge suppression
components to UL 1449. The TMOV and iTMOV varistors integrated
thermal element, in conjunction with appropriate enclosure design, helps
facilitate TVSS module compliance to UL1449 for both cord connected
and permanently connected applications.

This circuit illustrates the use of the monitoring lead of the iTMOV
varistor to ensure that equipment is only operated when overvoltage
protection present. In normal operation the load switch relay solenoid is
powered via the indicator lead of the iTMOV varistor. In the event of the
thermal element being activated, the relay will de-activate, cutting power
to the protected circuit and the fault LED will illuminate.

Note : The TMOV and iTMOV varistors are intended, in conjunction with
appropriate enclosure design, to help facilitate TVSS module compliance
to UL 1449, Section 37.4 (abnormal over-voltage limited current requirements). Under these extreme abnormal over-voltage conditions, the units
will exhibit substantial heating and potential venting prior to opening.
Modules should be designed to contain this possibility. Application testing
is strongly recommended.
