 Surge Absorbers
 Use surge absorbers to absorb lightning surge voltage or abnormal voltage from power supply 
input lines.
 When selecting surge absorbers, take into account the varistor voltage, the allowable surge 
current, and the energy.
 For 200-VAC systems, use surge absorbers with a varistor voltage of 620 V.
 The surge absorbers shown in the following table are recommended.
Note 1. Refer to the manufacturers’ documentation for operating details.
Note 2. The surge immunity is for a standard impulse current of 8/20 μs. If pulses are wide, either 
decrease the current or change to a larger-capacity surge absorber.
