DA Series - High Energy Industrial Varistor

The DA and DB Series transient surge suppressors are heavy-duty industrial metal-oxide varistors designed to provide surge protection for motor controls and power supplies used in oil-drilling, mining, and transportation equipment.

These UL-recognized varistors have identical ratings and specifications but differ in case construction to provide flexibility in equipment designs.
DA series devices feature rigid terminals to insure secure wire contacts.
Both the DA and DB series feature improved creep and strike distance capability to minimize breakdown along the package surface design that provides complete electrical isolation of the disc subassembly.

	AN9311 - The ABCs of MOVs The material in this application guide has been arranged in 3 parts for easy reference; Section A provides general guidelines on what types of MOV products are best suited for particular environments. Section B explains what Metal Oxide Varistors are and the basic function they perform. And section C helps clarify important information about MOVs for the design engineer, and answers questions that are asked most often. an9311.pdf (209 K)
	AN9767 - Littelfuse Varistors: Basic Properties, Terminology and Theory This application note describes the basic properties of varistors. Varistors are voltage dependent, nonlinear devices which have an electrical behavior similar to back-to-back zener diodes. The symmetrical, sharp breakdown characteristics enable the varistor to provide excellent transient suppression performance. Littelfuse_app-note_an9767.pdf (2,930 K)
	AN9768 - Transient Suppression Devices and Principles This application note discusses the two major categories of transient suppressors: a) those that attenuate transients, thus preventing their propagation into the sensitive circuit; and b) those that divert transients away from sensitive loads and so limit the residual voltages. an9768.pdf (279 K)
	AN9769 - An Overview of Electromagnetic and Lightning Induced Voltage Transients This application note is an overview of the sources and nature of various transient overvoltages, and the problems that may result. an9769.pdf (356 K)
	AN9773 - Varistor Testing This application note details the common tests of varistor parameters and describes suitable test methods using simplified test circuits. All tests are performed at 25° C, unless otherwise specified. The test circuits and methods given are intended as a general guide. Since the tests frequently entail high voltages and currents, users must exercise appropriate safety precautions. an9773.pdf (443 K)
	EC608 - Considerations for Selecting Littelfuse MOVs and Fuses for Industrial Motor Applications This application note discusses the first level considerations for applying both Littelfuse Industrial AC Line Metal Oxide Varistors and associated AC line Fuses with a motor protection example. ec608.pdf (597 K)
	EC638 - Littelfuse Varistor Design Examples This application note is a guide for selecting a varistor by describing common application examples, and illustrating the solution process to determine the appropriate varistor. The note also describes series/parallel connection rules. EC638.pdf (356 K)
	EC640 - Combining GDTs and MOVs for Surge Protection of AC Lines This application note illustrates how to design high performance, cost-effective surge protection for equipment connected to AC power lines. The role of gas discharge tube (GDT) surge arresters specifically designed for AC power line protection is also be discussed. EC640.pdf (158 K)
