Hi there!
I am working with a 15-55V converter, and am trying to make it universal for all Lift Trucks from 24V - 48V. I know I need a 10uH inductor followed by a MOV and TVS in series to make this work. the 48V trucks can spike upwards of 110VDC depending on the models now.
I am having trouble locating ones that will work with my truck, because the normal operating voltage is 48V and the MOV’s Vc will be 55, but if I am reading the Spec Sheet properly, it also needs to operate at 22V Minimum? or will it protect any circuit under its 55V Spikes?
As for the TVS, It needs to be 55V as well, without getting damaged on Spikes of 110-120VDC.
Could someone please link me the parts that would best suit my needs? I am relatively new to Digikey, and am having trouble locating these parts.
Thank you
Greetings,
Some added context would be helpful, particularly in regard to any specific devices or components you’re looking at, reference circuits you’re thinking of using, the specific nature of any electrical insults in question, etc.
I am relatively new to Digikey, and am having trouble locating these parts.
The MOV and TVS Diode families are pretty easily found using those respective search terms, but I’m not certain whether by “locating these parts” you’re referencing search techniques or identifying devices that are suited to your needs.
There’s a post here that discusses MOV parameters/selection in brief, and this resource does so more rigorously. The essential ideas for selection are pretty much the same for both MOVs and TVS diodes, since they both do essentially the same thing albeit using different technologies.
