RS PRO 240-179 is a high power metal oxide varistor engineered to offer robust transient voltage spike protection in demanding industrial power applications. With a capacitance of 1.9 nF, this varistor provides superior clamping performance and surge protection, rated for a clamping voltage of 680 V and varistor voltage of 400 V.
The device is constructed using a high-mass, large-diameter zinc oxide element, ensuring repeatable and reliable suppression of voltage surges. Its compact 32 mm diameter and 4 mm thickness allow for seamless integration into power distribution systems, particularly where space is limited and transient protection is critical.
This varistor is capable of handling a maximum surge current of 10 kA, with an energy rating of 180 J, making it suitable for high-energy industrial settings. Its operational range from -40°C to +85°C ensures dependable performance across varied environmental conditions. The insulated plastic case is designed for flat surface mounting, facilitating installation in distribution bus-bar mounting systems.
RS PRO 240-179 supports both AC and DC applications, with a maximum AC voltage rating of 275 V and DC voltage rating of 370 V. It is a single-fixing type component, providing flexibility in mounting for diverse surge protection configurations.
While it does not carry automotive standard or specific approvals, it is intended for general industrial use, protecting sensitive equipment from voltage spikes, overvoltages, and related disturbances typically encountered in power generation, distribution, automation, and control panels.
Typical industrial applications include electrical panels, power distribution boards, surge protection modules, and equipment requiring reliable overvoltage mitigation. Its high surge current capacity and robust energy absorption ensure that both equipment lifespan and operational reliability are enhanced.
