Good day
I am looking for information on MOV's.
My Confusion came about when I asked at an electronics shop as to what size MOV to put on the Output of a 13.8Voltcharger. I said battery charger 12 Volt. They gave me a 12 Volt MOV for 13.8 Volts. I questioned them but they assured me it was correct.
I connected the 12 Volt MOV across the 13.8 Volts and the MOV did not blow or short.
Thus the confusion I thought that when the voltage exceeded the rated voltage the MOV shorted blowing the fuse?
I would like to understand how to work0ut the size of the MOV for both AC and DC applications
