These devices are designed to protect equipment against transient voltage spikes. Connected directly across the supply rails, they offer a simple solution to transient suppression. A varistor remains high impedance during normal use, when a spike is encountered the impedance drops to a very low level, clamping the transient voltage to an acceptable level. The varistor absorbs the unwanted energy thereby protecting the equipment.
