MOV/Varistor in the UK

Post by Herzog »

I’m looking for a UK spec MOV and am really just guessing at the specs.

Is anyone with more knowledge than I willing to say if this is a suitable UK part?

I'm trying to remember, but it seems you want one rated for your voltage at the wall and that one seems for 360V. I'd guess this one might be more 'correct' but I'd wait for others with more detailed knowledge to confirm:

(I.E. this is a 240V varistor that clamps at 395V)
