Littelfuse LVSP0040TX2 - The Littelfuse Varistor Surge Protection (LVSP) Fuses are intended for the protection of TVSS products. The LVSP Series has been designed to survive the 8x20µs lightning surges described in various Standards(UL1449, IEC61000-4-5 & IEEE C62.41) without opening. This allows the TVSS to perform the necessary suppression. The LVSP Series is not rated for continuous current and the ratings are to specific 8x20µs surge capability. The LVSP Series can be used to facilitate TVSS module compliance to UL1449 in permanently connected applications (abnormal overvoltage, unlimited current conditions)

Overview

The Littelfuse LVSP0040TX2, from the LVSP Series, is a specialized varistor surge protection fuse designed to safeguard Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) products. These fuses are engineered to withstand the rigorous 8x20µs lightning surge tests outlined in industry standards such as UL1449, IEC61000-4-5, and IEEE C62.41, ensuring the TVSS device can effectively suppress voltage surges without premature failure. The LVSP Series is specifically designed for surge protection and is not intended for continuous current applications. Its ratings are based on its ability to handle specific 8x20µs surge events, making it ideal for applications requiring robust protection against transient overvoltages. The LVSP Series is particularly useful in facilitating TVSS module compliance with UL1449 standards, especially in permanently connected applications where abnormal overvoltage conditions and unlimited current scenarios may occur. This makes the LVSP0040TX2 a critical component for ensuring the reliability and longevity of TVSS systems in demanding industrial environments. Trust Littelfuse for reliable surge protection solutions.
