About this document
Understanding Metal Oxide Varistors by Samir Sharma is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The metal oxide varistor (MOV) is a voltage-dependent resistor primarily made of zinc oxide, used for transient protection in electronic circuits. It operates by allowing minimal current flow under normal conditions and conducting large currents during voltage surges to protect sensitive devices. MOVs are commonly connected across mains supplies for AC or DC applications to prevent damage from over-voltage pulses.
