Use environments and cleaning conditions
■ Do not use the surge absorber in an outdoor environment where the surge absorber is exposed to sunlight.
■ Do not use the surge absorber in which direct sunlight hits the surge absorber or near a heating element where the
temperature of the surge absorber would rise above its working temperature.
■ Do not use the surge absorber in a place where the surge absorber is exposed to wind or rain or a highly humid place
where steam is emitted or dew concentrates.
■ Do not use the surge absorber in a place filled with dust or salt, in an atmosphere contaminated with a corrosive gas,
etc., or in liquids such as water, oil, chemical, or organic solvents.
■ Do not wash the surge absorber with a solvent (thinner, acetone, etc.) that damages the outer sheath resin.
Response to anomalies and handling conditions
Be careful not to drop the surge absorber on the floor, etc. The product is likely to suffer mechanical or electrical damage
when dropped on the floor. Avoid using such a product.
Reliability
A capacitor conforming to "AEC-Q200" refers to a capacitor having passed some or all of evaluation test items defined
in AEC-Q200.
To know the detailed specifications of each capacitor or specific evaluation test scores, please contact us.
We issue a delivery specification sheet for each product ordered. Please confirm the delivery specification sheet when
you place an order with us.
Circuit design and circuit board design
Meet the following requirements. Not following the requirements can result in a shorter lifespan of the surge absorber or its
failure.
■ Choose a surge absorber whose maximum allowable circuit voltage has a margin relative to the maximum voltage range
including source voltage fluctuations.
* See Table 1 in the "Circuit design and circuit board design" section.
■ When surges are applied intermittently to the surge absorber at short intervals (when pulses of voltages are applied in a
noise simulator test, etc.), make sure that the surge power does not exceed the maximum average pulse power of the surge
absorber.
■ The product numbers of recommended surge absorbers to choose are shown in Table 1.
(1) The case of placing the surge absorber between lines
When the source voltage is expected to rise temporarily due to unbalanced single-wire loads in a three-phase three-wire
connection configuration, a short circuit between a voltage line and a neutral line, loss of the neutral line, or resonance of
a capacitive load caused by switching on/off, use a surge absorber (varistor) indicated by "*" in Table 1.
(2) The case of placing the surge absorber between a line and the ground
Line-to-ground voltage may rise with a single-wire ground fault, etc. Use a recommended surge absorber in Table 1 that
is different from the surge absorber placed between lines. When the device is subjected to an insulation resistance test
(500 V DC), use a D-type surge absorber indicated by "**" in Table 1.
According to "Electrical Appliance Technical Standards" based on the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Act, when
using a varistor voltage which would fail the insulation performance test, the surge absorber may be removed from the
device when being subjected to the test, depending on circuit test conditions.
* See attached table 4, appendix 4, "Electrical Appliance Technical Standards" based on the Electrical Appliance and
Material Safety Act.
When conducting a withstand voltage test (1000 V AC or 1200 V AC) of the device, use the recommended D type /
V series surge absorber indicated by "***" in Table 1.
