FBMOV Varistor Series
RoHS
Description
The Littelfuse FBMOV Series thermally protected and
non-fragmenting varistor represents a new development
in circuit protection. It consists of a 40kA varistor building
block (MOV) with an integral thermally activated element
designed to open in the event of overheating due to
abnormal over-voltage, limited current conditions.
FBMOV series devices also include a varistor series fuse
which prevents the part from rupturing when subjected to
high fault current (up to 200kA).The tubular fuse-like body
allows for easy mechanical connection in the application.
Another feature of FBMOV is an indicator lead, which may
be connected to monitoring circuitry and used to signal if
the MOV has been disconnected.
Agency Approvals
Agency File Number
FBMOV series devices offer quick thermal response due
to the close proximity of the integrated fusing thermal
element to the MOV body. The integrated configuration
also offers lower inductance than most discreet solutions
resulting in improved clamping performance to fast overvoltage transients.
