OEM Surge Protection Components IEC

Mersen’s TPMOV technology eliminates common failure modes that occur in the field with standard metal oxide varistors. Internally each unit is comprised of a voltage clamping device and a disconnecting apparatus that monitors the status of the metal oxide disk, making the TPMOV surge suppression component a fail-safe device. In the event of an overvoltage breakdown, the metal oxide disc is securely disconnected from the system power by an arc shield. Upon failure, the TPMOV surge suppression component is also equipped with a visual pin indicator as well as a normally open micro-switch, providing remote indication if applicable.

TPMOV7 series surge suppression component: 50% more surge capacity, in the same footprint
The TPMOV7 series is rated for 75kA - 8/20μs peak surge current and is available for maximum continuous operating voltages (MCOV) from 150V to 320VAC.

Mersen surge suppression fuses are specially designed to address the protection of SPD systems. Our surge suppression fuses have been specially designed to withstand 8/20 μSec surge pulses without opening, allowing the SPD system to react to the surge. All surge suppression fuses have a 8/20 μSec surge rating, not a continuous current rating. Under AC short circuit conditions these surge suppression fuses are very current limiting.
