The MYE Series transient surge suppressors are heavy-duty industrial Metal-Oxide Varistors (MOVs) designed to provide surge protection for motor controls and power supplies used in oil drilling, mining, transportation equipment, and other heavy industrial AC line applications. These varistors have similar package construction but differ in size and ratings. The MYE Series features improved creep and strike capability to minimize breakdown along the package surface, a package design that provides complete electrical isolation of the disc subassembly, and rigid terminals to ensure secure wire contacts.
The MYE varistor is the number one varistor series designed for heavy-duty industrial electrical products with high surge withstand requirements and harsh working environments. They consist of a larger diameter zinc oxide varistor and a flame-retardant housing. Internal potting uses flame-retardant insulation and explosion-proof materials, providing transient surge protection capability. It has a reliable terminal and is used for automatic industrial equipment, power control, power transmission, communication equipment, water supply systems, petroleum equipment, mining equipment, railway signal systems, and more. Heavy-duty varistors can handle surge current capability of up to 100 kA.
Key features include:
Wide operating voltage range
Rigid terminals for secure wire contact
Case design that provides complete electrical isolation of the disc subassembly
High energy absorption capability (WTM)
No derating at ambient temperatures up to 85ºC
The MYE varistor is widely used in automatic industrial equipment, power control, power transmission, communication equipment, water supply systems, petroleum equipment, mining equipment, railway signal systems, and other applications.
Structural characteristics and packaging method: The pressure-sensitive resistance has high-strength threaded pores installed in a flame-retardant plastic shell, all conforming to UL94V-0.
