Power Dissipation Ratings
Should transients occur in rapid succession, the average power dissipa-
tion required is simply the energy (watt- seconds) per pulse times the
number of pulses per second. The power so developed must be within the
specifications shown on the Device Ratings and Specifications table for
the specific device. Furthermore, the operating values need to be derated
at high temperatures as shown in Figure 1. Because varistors can only
dissipate a relatively small amount of average power they are, therefore,
not suitable for repetitive applications that involve substantial amounts of
average power dissipation.

O1 = Virtual Origin of Wave
T = Time From 10% to 90% of Peak
T1 = Virtual Front time = 1.25 • t
T2 = Virtual Time to Half Value (Impulse Duration)
Example: For an 8/20µs Current Waveform:
8µs = T1 = Virtual Front Time
20µs = T2 = Virtual Time to Half Value
