ZA Varistor Series
Description
The ZA Series of transient voltage surge suppressors
are radial leaded varistors (MOVs) designed for
use in the protection of low and medium-voltage
circuits and systems. Typical applications include
motor control, telecom, automotive systems,
solenoid, and power supply circuits to protect circuit
board components and maintain data integrity.
These devices are available in ve model sizes:
5mm, 7mm, 10mm, 14mm and 20mm, and feature
a wide VDC voltage range of 5.5V to 615V.
See ZA Series Device Ratings and Specications
Table for part number and brand information.

Should transients occur in rapid succession, the average power

dissipation required is simply the energy (watt-seconds) per pulse
times the number of pulses per second. The power so developed
must be within the specications shown on the Device Ratings

the operating values need to be derated at high temperatures as
shown in the diagram above. Because varistors can only dissipate
a relatively small amount of average power they are, therefore, not
suitable for repetitive applications that involve substantial amounts
of average power dissipation.
