This device raises the turn-on voltage threshold of the series combination against low frequency overvoltage conditions while having minimal impact on the voltage clamp level when subjected to a lightning surge. Using this series combination will prevent the MOV from conducting when line frequency voltage swells (up to the sum of the breakdown voltages of the two components) occur on the ac input lines of the power supply. This allows a design to avoid the use of a higher voltage MOV, which, if used, would significantly reduce the level of lightning protection. See the Application section for additional information.

ACTP250J1BJ AC Transient Protector APPLICATION INFORMATION Enhancing the Performance of an MOV In many applications, an offline Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is subjected to possible damage from indirect lightning strikes, switching transients, line voltage swells and other overvoltage conditions. Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) are often used to provide protection against lightning and other short duration transients. However, an MOV can be easily overstressed by a power line voltage swell due to the low frequency characteristic of this overvoltage condition. To alleviate this problem, the Model ACTP250J1BJ bidirectional transient protector can be placed in series with the MOV so that it does not conduct during AC line voltage swells up to a specific voltage level while allowing the series combination to clamp at voltage levels just above the MOV clamp voltage during a lightning transient. For example, say we have an offline SMPS that is designed to operate at a maximum line voltage of 260 Vrms and a 275 Vrms MOV is being used to provide protection against a lightning surge with a peak voltage of 2.5 kV per IEC 61000-4-5 (1.2/50 μs voltage, 8/20 μs current combination wave). If we would also like to prevent the MOV from being damaged by a line voltage swell as high as 400 Vrms (566 Vpeak), we can use a Model ACTP250J1B1 protector in series with the MOV (as shown in Figure 1 below). At 25 °C, this combination has a minimum breakdown voltage of 577 V (387 + 190 = 577), where 387 V is VBD of the 275 VRMS MOV, and 190 V is the VDRM of the Model ACTP250J1BJ, guaranteeing that it will not operate at a line voltage that is < 400 Vrms. SMPS + 275 Vrms MOV V1 AC 230 V ACTP250J1BJ Figure 1. MOV/ACTP250J1BJ AC Line Protection Adding the Model ACTP250J1BJ device in series with the MOV generates only a small increase in the clamp level. Figure 2 below shows the clamp voltage level of the MOV alone and the MOV/ACTP series combination for a 2.5 kV 1.2/50, 8/20 μs combination wave surge. Note that the Model ACTP250J1BJ device only adds a few volts to the MOV clamp voltage. The waveforms in Figure 3 show that the series combination does not clamp the voltage waveform or conduct current when subjected to a 400 Vrms line voltage.

Protection Circuit Clamp Voltages for a 2.5 kV Surge Figure 3. Performance of the Series Protection Circuit when Subjected to a 400 Vrms Line Voltage In conclusion, adding the Model ACTP250J1B1 in series with the MOV reduces the MOV’s susceptibility to damage from a line voltage swell while having a minimal impact on the lightning protection performance of the design.
