You had me worried, because MOVs often do deal with extremely high PEAK currents, so I could have easily been mixed up about it. |

From having a quick partial read on a varistor application note. I'm wondering if they mean, 100V (limit) when a current of 20mA flows. Hence why it says 100V 20mA. So a more modern varistor, would probably be 100V at 1mA, and may just say 100V, with the datasheet going into the proper details. The app note is here: https://www.littelfuse.com/~/media/electronics_technical/application_notes/varistors/littelfuse_varistors_basic_properties_terminology_and_theory_application_note.pdf --- Quote ---The varistor voltage, VN, is defined as the voltage across a varistor at the point on its V-I characteristic where the transition is complete from the low-level linear region to the highly nonlinear region. For standard measurement purposes, it is arbitrarily defined as the voltage at a current of 1mA. --- End quote --- |
