Overview

The Mersen 420TPMOVSLT is a patented Thermally Protected Metal Oxide Varistor (TPMOV®) designed to overcome the common destructive failure modes inherent in standard Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs). This advanced surge suppression component integrates a robust voltage clamping device with a sophisticated disconnecting apparatus that actively monitors the status of the internal metal oxide disk. This internal monitoring ensures that in the event of an overvoltage condition, the TPMOV® is securely and rapidly disconnected from the system power by an integrated arc shield, preventing catastrophic failure and enhancing system safety. Upon failure, the 420TPMOVSLT is equipped with a visual pin indicator, providing an immediate, at-a-glance status check. For enhanced operational awareness and system management, it also features a normally open microswitch, which provides remote indication of the device's status, if applicable. This specific model, the 420TPMOVSLT, is rated for 420 Volts and features short leads with visible tabs for convenient installation and connection in OEM designs and builds. The TPMOV technology ensures a fail-safe operation, eliminating the need for additional upstream overcurrent protective devices like fuses in many applications. Mersen's commitment to innovation is evident in this surge protection component, offering superior reliability and longevity for critical electrical systems. The UNSPSC code for this product is 39121610, and it is manufactured in the US. This device is suitable for applications requiring robust surge protection and fail-safe operation, ensuring the integrity of electrical equipment against transient overvoltages.
