Definition of Terms (according to IEEE specifications C62.33)
Average Power Dissipation:
Tested using two consecutive pulses at rated peak current using a 10/1000µs test
waveform with a minimum pulse period of 60 seconds between pulses (IEC 61000-4-5) .
Rated RMS Voltage, Rated DC Voltage:
The maximum designated values of power system voltage that may be applied
continuously between the terminals of a device .
Varistor Voltage:
Test characteristic that is used to classify varistors by type . A test current of 1mA DC is typically
used to determine varistor voltage classification type . Varistor voltage clamping characteristics can be defined
at various test levels .
Rated Peak Single Pulse Transient Current:
Maximum surge current, 8/20μs waveform which a varistor is rated to
withstand for a single surge .
Rated Single Pulse Transient Energy:
Maximum allowable energy for a single impulse (see specified waveforms) .
Maximum Clamping Voltage:
Measured peak voltage across the device terminals when a current impulse of specified
amplitude and waveform is conducted through the varistor .
Typical Capacitance:
Typical capacitance values are measured at a test frequency of 1KHZ .
