TCMOV Series
Description
The Littelfuse TCMOV is a thermally self protected device. It
consists of a 34mm varistor with an integral thermal disconnect
system designed to open in the event of overheating due to
abnormal over-voltage conditions, outlined in UL 1449. The TCMOV
helps facilitate SPD module compliance to UL1449 for type 1 and
type 2 applications.
The device integrates a micro-switch which is triggered by a
mechanical structure that makes the indicator circuit isolated from
the main power. If the device disconnects from the system power
the switch will change status. These features simplify the design
and save cost for the customer.
The TCMOV devices offer quick thermal response due to the close
proximity of the integrated thermal element to central section of
the MOV body. This configuration also offers lower inductance
than most discreet solutions resulting in improved clamping
performance to fast over-voltage transients.
