The GMOV™ component is designed to be an enhanced protection solution that minimizes degradation and catastrophic failure issues that can occur with discrete MOVs when subjected to transient surges and temporary overvoltage conditions exceeding maximum rated values. The “on-call but not on-duty” isolation of the MOV from line voltage by the GDT shields the MOV from transients and temporary overvoltage spikes that typically damage the MOV over time. Leakage of the device is eliminated by the series GDT and mitigates damage to the MOV due to watt-loss heating.
This combination of the patented GDT with FLAT® technology and an MOV is ideally suited for any number of AC and DC power applications where a high level of performance is required over time. The devices are drop-in replacements for standard 14 and 20mm MOVs. The Bourns GMOV is UL 1449 Type 5 rated and RoHS compliant.
