Re: Does a MOV shunt current or equalize voltage?

** No.

Such an efficiency with words.


** Removing the context like that is 100% ASININE !!

With replies like yours, who needs context.

You PITA fuckwit.

Blow it out your ear, moped brain.

** MOVs shunts the current associated with a high voltage
transient

Shunts it to where?


** First through itself,

It's shunts current to itself, you fucking moron?!

... they will shunt the current created by the high voltage away
from the sensitive components.

Really? Don't they equalize the voltage at the circuit inputs until
the transient goes away?

** Equalize = what ?

Learn to read, you monkey bred halfwit!

How is that the same as "shunting current away from the protected
device"?


** It's a fucking VOLTAGE CLAMP in series with an impedance.

Works like a shunt regulator.

That's right, you sorry excuse for a moron wannabe. Limiting voltage
at the circuit inputs saves the circuit, you asswipe *** clinging
scum bucket.
