NOTES:
1. Peak current Applies to applications rated up to 115VRMS. Peak
current is 30kA for applications greater than 115V.
2. Peak current applies to applications rated up to 132VRMS. Peak
Current is 30kA for applications greater than 132V.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE (oC)
Should transients occur in rapid succession, the
average power dissipation required is simply the energy
(watt- seconds) per pulse times the number of pulses
per second. The power so developed must be within
the specifications shown on the Device Ratings and
Specifications table for the specific device. Furthermore,
the operating values need to be derated at high
temperatures as shown above. Because varistors can only
dissipate a relatively small amount of average power they
are, therefore, not suitable for repetitive applications that
involve substantial amounts of average power dissipation.

NOTE: If pulse ratings are exceeded, a shift of V
+/-10% could result. This type of shift, which normally results in a decrease of V
result in the device not meeting the original published specifications, but it does not
prevent the device from continuing to function, and to provide ample protection.
