Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) is a nonlinear resistance component with zinc oxide (ZnO) as its main constituent. The resistance of an MOV is sensitive to changes in the applied voltage. Below the threshold voltage, the MOV exhibits high resistance, allowing only a negligibly small leakage current to flow. Once the threshold voltage is exceeded, the resistance of the MOV drops sharply, enabling the conduction of a large current. This characteristic makes the MOV suitable for detecting and suppressing surge voltage and overvoltage, thereby protecting the circuit from damage caused by excessive voltage. The Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) finds wide application in various fields such as photovoltaics, communication, lightning protection, power supply, and power strips. It serves to suppress transient overvoltage and absorb surge energy within the circuit. SETsafe | SETfuse offers Metal Oxide Varistors (MOV) with maximum peak current ratings ranging from 0.75 kA to 70 kA, and maximum continuous voltage ratings from 14 VAC to 750 VAC. These MOVs are equipped with safety certifications such as UL, cUL, TUV, and CQC, and comply with RoHS and REACH requirements. Compared with standard type varistor, the highsurge impact varistor uses materials withextra high performance, having impulse capacity about 30% higher than normal varistorof the same size. Besides, the varistor has good long-term stability, and can be used in higher surge requirement or miniaturization designmen. - SETsafe

Over Current Protection（51）
- Miniature Fuses（23）
  Miniature Fuses
  Miniature Fuses is an Over Current Protection device. Its resistance is very low. When the circuit works normally, it is equivalent to a wire, which can conduct the circuit continuously and stably. When the current fluctuates due to circuit instability or external interference, it should also be able to withstand a certain range of overload. Only when overload or short circuit happens, Miniature Fuses can blow fast to protect the circuit. SETsafe | SETfuse Miniature Fuses is widely used in all kinds of electrical equipment. It has a variety of mounting modes, compact structure, reliable and stable performance. Technical parameters of SETsafe | SETfuse Miniature Fuses: Its rated current ranges from 0.1 A to 40 A, rated voltage ranges from 125 VAC to 500 VAC, and from 24 VDC to 600 VDC, complies with RoHS and REACH, and is approved by cURus, VDE, PSE, CCC, CQC, KC, TUV.
