What is a Metal-Oxide Varistor and how it protects a drive | Galco Industrial Electronics

Metal oxide varistors, also known as MOVs are one of the most common types of varistors. They are voltage dependent, nonlinear devices that provide transient suppression. MOVs are composed primarily of zinc oxide with small additions of other metal oxides. The structure of the body consists of a matrix of conductive zinc oxide grains separated by grain boundaries. These boundaries are responsible for blocking conduction at low voltages and are the source of the nonlinear electrical conduction at higher voltages. The use of a metallic oxide within their construction means that MOV’s are extremely effective in absorbing short term voltage transients and have higher energy handling capabilities. As with the normal varistor, the metal oxide varistor starts conduction at a specific voltage and stops conduction when the voltage falls below a threshold voltage.
