World Products Inc. TVZ series is a two or
three-leaded Thermally Protected Metal
Oxide Varistor.
One lead of the TVZ varistor is connected to a thermal fuse which is designed to open when the
varistor is under sustained abnormal over-voltage conditions. The TVZ series is designed to meet the
abnormal over-voltage requirements of UL 1449 3rd edition, Section 37.4.
Traditional Metal Oxide Varistors withstand 150% of its rated voltage for a given duration. But Metal
Oxide Varistors may fail to a short-circuit condition or fail to open when subjected to sustained
steady-state over-voltage above its rated specifications. TVZ has a thermal fuse integrated with an
MOV disk that responds to the MOV temperature and disconnects the MOV from the line, should the
temperature or voltage exceed a certain level.
World Products Inc. three-leaded device is designed to be connected, via the monitor lead, to an
indicator (such as an LED) to provide diagnostic features indicating if the MOV is disconnected from
the circuit in the event the fuse element opens.
As a result of the integration of the thermal fuse attached to the MOV disc, Thermally Fused
Varistors provide an instant response to unexpected over-voltage situations. Lower inductance is
another benefit of the inclusion of a thermal fuse, enhancing clamping performance to sudden over-
voltage transients. World Products Inc. Thermally Protected Varistors offer protection to sensitive
downstream electric components.
