Description
Panasonic 32EK241 ZNR Metal Oxide Varistor MOV 240V 395V Surge Suppressor
The Panasonic 32EK241 is a zinc oxide metal oxide varistor (MOV) designed for transient overvoltage protection and surge suppression in industrial electronics. This component clamps voltage spikes to a maximum of 395 volts, protecting downstream circuitry from electrical transients and power surges in AC-powered equipment and control systems.

Applications
Metal oxide varistors of this type are widely used in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, power distribution panels, and AC-powered devices requiring surge protection. These components are commonly found protecting sensitive circuits in industrial machinery, telephone systems, and switching equipment. The 240V rating makes this varistor suitable for standard AC line-voltage protection applications in equipment rated for 120V or 240V AC circuits. MOVs serve as non-linear protective elements that conduct heavily when voltage exceeds their clamping threshold, diverting transient energy away from protected circuits. This particular component represents the mid-era design of varistor technology, widely deployed from the 1980s onward in legacy and current industrial equipment still in service today.
This Panasonic 32EK241 ZNR Metal Oxide Varistor has been inspected and is in good condition. It was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use. The black molded body and green zinc oxide disc are intact with no visible cracking or damage. The spade terminals are clean and ready for installation. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
