[0002] Surge protectors generally include a normal operating state, an overvoltage state, and a tripped state. In the normal operating state, the varistor is in a high resistance state and does not affect the normal operation of the circuit in which it is located. The resistance value remains at a high level within a set voltage range. When the circuit is subjected to a sudden overvoltage, such as a lightning strike or power system failure, the voltage rises sharply, and when the line voltage exceeds the threshold voltage (also known as the rated voltage), the surge protector enters the overvoltage state. Once the voltage of the line exceeds the rated voltage of the varistor, the resistance begins to change.
