What is a load coil and how do you measure it?
The textbook description of an inductor often involves a coil of wire. Of course, any material other than a perfect ideal insulator has theoretical inductance. All the windings do is multiply the effect by creating overlapping fields. It’s good to in mind that inductance is measurable in many non-coils, such as power transmission lines, coax, […]
New varistors incorporate built-in thermal disconnect, electric arc shield
The LST Varistor series is constructed with a proprietary thermally protected varistor technology (TMOV) developed by Littelfuse. This new varistor incorporates both a built-in thermal disconnect function and electric arc shield. This combination provides additional robust protection to prevent catastrophic failure and fire hazard even under the extreme circumstances of abnormal overvoltage conditions or varistor […]
