Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the primary function of a varistor?
A varistor's primary function is to protect electronic circuits from voltage surges and spikes by varying its resistance based on the applied voltage.
How does a varistor differ from a regular resistor?
Unlike a regular resistor, which has a constant resistance regardless of the applied voltage, a varistor's resistance changes as the voltage across it changes, providing protection against voltage surges.
In which applications are varistors commonly used?
Varistors are commonly used in applications that require protection against voltage surges, such as power supplies, telecommunications equipment, and industrial control systems.
Can varistors protect against multiple voltage surges?
Yes, varistors can protect against multiple voltage surges. However, their protective capabilities may degrade over time due to repeated surges. It is essential to monitor the varistor's performance and replace it when necessary.
