Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) are typically used
for transient over-voltage suppression in AC line voltage applications.
Lightning, inductive load switching, or capacitor bank switching may cause
transient over-voltage conditions. In these applications, there also exists the
potential for a sustained abnormal over-voltage/limited-current condition that
may cause the MOV to go into thermal runaway, resulting in overheating,
out-gassing and possibly fire.
