Drafting.
This document supersedes GB/T 27746-2011 "Technical Specification for Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) for Low-Voltage Electrical Appliances" and is consistent with...
Compared with GB/T 27746-2011, apart from structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
---Added the terms and definitions for "varistor voltage," "AC leakage current," and "DC leakage current" (see 3.1.11, 3.1.16, and 3.1.17);
---Added rated standard values for leaded high-voltage MOVs with nominal varistor voltages of 1400V, 1600V, and 1800V.
(See Table 4);
---The temperature-voltage stress stability test has been removed (see 7.2.7 in the.2011 edition).

Introduction
Low-voltage electrical appliances operate in circuits with a rated AC voltage of 1000V, DC voltage of 1500V and below, and are used for circuit switching and control.
Electrical appliances that perform detection, protection, transformation, and regulation functions are fundamental components of complete sets of electrical equipment, used in large quantities and with wide applications. Low-voltage electrical...
When used in a circuit, the device inevitably encounters lightning overvoltages, switching overvoltages, and electrostatic discharges conducted from the circuit. These overvoltages can...
Overvoltage can cause arcing at electrical contacts, accelerate the aging and damage of device insulation, or interfere with adjacent circuits. Therefore, overvoltage suppression devices must be used to limit these overvoltages.
Within safe limits. Currently, metal oxide varistors (MOVs) are widely used and economical in low-voltage electrical appliances for suppressing overvoltages.
Device.
This document, based on the application environment and specific usage of low-voltage electrical appliances, proposes technical requirements for MOVs that meet the usage requirements of low-voltage electrical appliances.
This document outlines requirements, test methods, and inspection rules. Its purpose is to provide technical guidance for manufacturers and users of MOVs for low-voltage electrical applications.
The guide coordinates the requirements of both parties to ensure that the MOV can achieve the intended protection function in low-voltage electrical appliances.
