Catalog number 1395-123396 by Allen Bradley falls into the suppressor family. It is an MOV surge suppressor, used to suppress sudden voltage surges which may occur in the circuit. Its main applications include heavy machinery, where the unit absorbs the discharge energy from the inductive coils, thereby reducing the electrical noises within a system. Keep checking for the life of your surge suppressor as few high transients can degrade the life and thus decrease the triggering voltage over time.

Computer controls can also be enhanced when the noise in a circuit is reduced. The 1395-123396 is a tried and tested MOV surge suppressor enclosed within a NEMA type 1 enclosure; it is safe to be installed and operated in extreme temperatures. This special type of capacitor deployed in circuits absorbs the energy discharges or residue heavy voltage that accumulate on the circuit. One of the best application uses is in the making of parts for civil aircrafts. It is duly certified and accredited under NFPA for testing against fire hazards. The tolerance level of a typical MOV based surge suppressor fluctuates to up to 20% of its original value.

Make sure to use the correct rating of the suppressor and to carefully connect the terminals in the circuit. These are mostly seen in process control systems, power control panels or heavy machine applications. An MOV base typically stands for Metal Oxide suppressor using Varistor, whose resistance changes with the applications of the varied input voltage in the circuit. The indicator in the suppressor tells how much life is left and must be checked at regular intervals to ensure that the device still operates properly.
