Standard Test
Condition
Electrical characteristics shall be measured at following conditions
(Temperature: 5 to 35 °C,Humidity: Max. 85 %) ———
Varistor Voltage
The voltage between two terminals with the specified measuring
current CmA DC applied is called Vc or VCmA. The measurement shall
be made as fast as possible to avoid heat affection.
To meet the
specifi ed value.
Maximum Allowable
Voltage
The maximum sinusoidal wave voltage (rms) or the maximum DC
voltage that can be applied continuously.
Clamping Voltage The maximum voltage between two terminals with the specified
standard impulse current (8/20 μs).
Rated Power The maximum power that can be applied within the specified
ambient temperature.
Energy The maximum energy within the varistor voltage change of ±10 %
when one impulse of 2 ms is applied.
Maximum

Mechanical
Robustness of
Terminations
(Tensile)
After gradually applying the load of 49 N (5 kgf) and keeping the
unit fi xed for 10 seconds in an axial direction, the terminal shall
be visually examined for any damage.
No remarkable
damage
Vibration
After repeadly applying a single harmonic vibration (amplitude:
0.75 mm): double amplitude: 1.5 mm with 1 minute vibration
frequency cycles (10 Hz to 55 Hz to 10 Hz) to each of three
perpendicular directions for 2 hours. Thereafter, the damage of
the ter mi nals is visually examined.
