The C-III Series of metal oxide varistors are specifically designed for high surge energy absorption ratings. This is achieved through a special dielectric material formulation which also results in higher repetitive surge ratings than other MOV types.
 
The C-III series is primarily intended for use in AC line Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) product environment and other similar applications requiring high transient energy and peak current capability in a relatively small package size.
  • The C-III series is supplied in 14 and 20mm disc versions with various lead options.
  • These types are shipped in bulk or Tape and Reel packaging.
  • Part number and brand information is provided in the Ratings Table.

pdficon AN9768 Transient Suppression Devices and Principles

This application note discusses the two major categories of transient suppressors: a) those that attenuate transients thus preventing their propagation into the sensitive circuit; and b) those that divert transients away from sensitive loads and so limit the residual voltages.
