47. MOV for 3-Phase Line-to-Line Surge Protection

John is designing a 3-phase 415VAC motor drive input stage for an industrial application. 

To protect the drive from surge transients on the 3-phase supply, he needs to place MOVs across each line-to-line pair (L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L1). 

Each MOV must safely handle the line-to-line voltage of 415VAC continuous without degrading. 

The MOVs should have a high surge current and energy rating to withstand heavy industrial transients. 

He wants through-hole disc type MOVs with adequate disc size for high energy handling. 

The company's approved vendor list (AVL) specifies Littelfuse for circuit protection components, so the parts must be selected from Littelfuse on DigiKey.
