The C-III Series of metal-oxide varistors are specifically designed for high surge energy absorption ratings. This is achieved through a special dielectric material formulation which also results in higher repetitive surge ratings than other MOV types. The C-III series is primarily intended for use in AC line Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) product environment and other similar applications requiring high transient energy and peak current capability in a relatively small package size. The C-III series is supplied in 14 and 20mm disc versions with various lead options.
