Surge Protection

Mersen’s TPMOV technology eliminates common failure modes that occur in the field with standard metal oxide varistors. Internally each unit is comprised of a voltage clamping device and a disconnecting apparatus that monitors the status of the metal oxide disk, making the TPMOV surge suppression component a fail-safe device. In the event of an overvoltage breakdown, the metal oxide disc is securely disconnected from the system power by an arc shield. Upon failure, the TPMOV surge suppression component is also equipped with a visual pin indicator as well as a normally open micro-switch, providing remote indication if applicable.

TPMOV7 series surge suppression component: 50% more surge capacity, in the same footprint
The TPMOV7 series is rated for 75kA - 8/20μs peak surge current and is available for maximum continuous operating voltages (MCOV) from 150V to 320VAC.

PCB Socket is the series of socket bases that allow for integration of Mersen’s pluggable IEC surge protection cartridges directly on printed circuit boards. Those surge cartridges will be easily replaceable upon reaching their end of life. SB PCB is an optimal solution for the industry of power electronics: inverters, converters, control panels for railway, PV combiner boxes, machines, OEM equipment, etc. Key benefits are cost efficiency, space efficiency, no wiring and optimal voltage protection of sensitive electronics. Integration of surge protection on PCBs is often planned for at an early stage of development of the system. The surge sockets will be firmly fixed to the PCB during the wave soldering process. They’ll host the entire range of IEC surge protection cartridges AC & DC, T2 & T1.
