Protection Application:: For Inverter Microwave oven, TVS was used to prevent OV either from high line voltage condition or regenerative high voltage from the transformer. For inverter Magnetron circuits, a WIA fuse was used for S/C protection for any malfunction of the electrical components in the circuitry.
Solution Description:: TVS selection depends on the line voltage, nominal load current, maximum surge load current. Typical line voltage around 300Volts. Typical TVS part number 1.5SMC400 A A time lag (Slo-Blo) fuse was selected due to the inrush caused by the charging current of the large capacitor. Typically, a 5x20mm axial leaded fuse were used, part number as 0215010.P
Companion Solutions for Inverter Fuses:: Axial leaded TVS part with various voltage rating for different line conditions. Other time lag (Slo-Blo) WIA fuse such as TR5, 2AG, 3AG series axial leaded fuse.
