hi & tfyt, i have a project for a 480vac motor & want to use mov's for transient protection. i have a few epcos 250vac movs rather than buy a mov for 480vac i was thinking of using 2 x 250v mov's in series will this work ? i assume that as the cycle rises & it reaches the transient voltage of the 1st mov the impedance will change & that the remaining voltage will not be enough to change the impedance of the 2nd mov , hence only if the voltage is above 500vac will both mov's impedances drop & short any transients (which is what i want to use them for). i've had trouble trying to find any info on this subject thanks for your advice in advance glen -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
