Global Metal Oxide Varistor Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

A Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) is an electronic component that acts as a voltage-dependent resistor. It is primarily used for transient voltage surge suppression and protection against voltage spikes in electrical circuits. The MOV is made of a ceramic material, typically zinc oxide (ZnO), with small amounts of other metal oxide additives. The material has a highly nonlinear current-voltage characteristic, which means its resistance decreases significantly as the voltage across it increases above a certain threshold. When a high voltage surge or transient occurs, the MOV quickly clamps the voltage by shunting the excess current to the ground, limiting the voltage that reaches sensitive components or equipment. The response time of a MOV is very fast, providing effective protection against voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes, switching operations, or other electrical disturbances. MOVs are commonly used in power supplies, circuit breakers, surge protectors, and electronic devices to prevent damage and ensure the reliability of electrical systems by suppressing transient overvoltages.
