Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of protective electrical appliances, in particular to a varistor with a self-check function and a surge protector thereof. Background technique
[0002] Varistor is a resistive device with nonlinear volt-ampere characteristics. It is often used as an overvoltage protection device. When the varistor is subjected to overvoltage energy, its temperature continues to rise, and when it reaches the withstand limit of the varistor, the voltage The sensitive resistor has a thermal damage failure and needs to be replaced before it can continue to play a protective role.
[0003] However, the existing varistor itself cannot display the thermal damage condition, so that after the varistor is thermally damaged, the user cannot find and replace the varistor in time, which affects the protection of sensitive devices using the varistor.
[0004] Existing surge protectors are generally equipped with piezoresistors, and the ...
