The TV rating is an appraisal of the inrush withstand current performance in the UL and CSA standards. It is one of the typical ratings. © Copyright OMRON Corporation 2007 - 2026. All Rights. A practical guide to how protective relays detect faults, trip circuit breakers, coordinate protection zones, and improve power system reliability. I've recently become aware that some power relays have a "TV" rating (TV-3, TV-5, TV-8, TV-10, TV-15) which characterizes their suitability for loads with high inrush currents. 30A Inrush for a very short duration @ 120VAC and settles to a steady state current of 3A, 120V C before cycling off. Relays must operate successfully for 25,000 cycles of TV Load Testing to r ly to the list above. OMRON provides the glossary of industrial automation to. Question 1: What is an appropriate voltage for a TVS? The previously-cited forum thread advises choosing a breakdown voltage at least double the nominal coil voltage, but IIUC this guarantees that the coil will be exposed to an over-voltage condition (24 V > 20 V)? It seems that a diode with V.
