RA Series Ratings & Specifications
NOTES:
1. Average power dissipation of transients not to exceed 0.25W for RA8 Series, 0.60W for RA16 Series, or 1.0W for RA22 Series.
2. Energy ratings for impulse duration of 30ms minimum to one half of peak current value.
3. Also rated to withstand 24V for 5 minutes.
4. 10mA DC Test Current.
† Under UL File No. E320116 as a recognized component. CSA approved File No. LR91788.
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 aver-
age power dissipation.
