Varistor
A varistor is :
a variable resistor –
a voltage dependent,
non-linear device –
whose resistance
decreases as the
voltage applied
across the device or
terminals increases.
Varistor
Or it can also be
described as a
device that:
• Under normal
operating conditions,
the overvoltage device
appears as a high
impedance device.
• Under overvoltage
operating conditions,
the overvoltage device
appears as a low
impedance device
