Abnormal overvoltage
test
UL1449, limited current abnormal
overvoltage test. Apply a high AC
voltage to ThermoFuse varistor, the
amplitude of overvoltage and current
limit will be adopted from UL1449
general instruction in section 37. The
specimen will be tested on a softwood
surface covered with a double layer of
white tissue paper. The specimen is to
be loosely draped with a double layer
of cheesecloth.
The cheesecloth shall cover openings
where flame, molten or other particles
may be expelled as a result of the test.
The test result will be visually
inspected.
Please read Cautions and warnings and
Important notes at the end of this document.

Any of these phenomena shall
not be observed, or this
specimen will be judged as
failed part.
1. Emission of flame, molten
metal, glowing or flaming
particles through any
openings (pre-existed or
created as a result of the
test) in the product.
2. Charring, glowing, or
flaming of the supporting
surface, tissue paper, or
cheesecloth.
3. Ignition of the enclosure.
4. Creation of any openings
in the enclosure that
result in accessibility of
live parts, when judged in
accordance with
accessibility of live parts,
UL1449 section 13.

Cautions and warnings
General
1. EPCOS metal oxide varistors are designed for specific applications and should not be used
for purposes not identified in our specifications, application notes and data books unless otherwise agreed with EPCOS during the design-in-phase.
2. Ensure suitability of SIOVs through reliability testing during the design-in phase. SIOVs
should be evaluated taking into consideration worst-case conditions.
3. For applications of SIOVs in line-to-ground circuits based on various international and local
standards there are restrictions existing or additional safety measures required.
Storage
1. Store SIOVs only in original packaging. Do not open the package before storage.
2. Storage conditions in original packaging:
Storage temperature:
25 °C ... +45 °C,
Relative humidity:
