varistor - MOV Characteristics



I need to select MOV for my application. Vin max=520Vrms Surge Voltage= 4000KV as per IEC61000-4-5, 8x20us waveforms.


So my calculation is $$ \text{Surge Current}={(V_{transient\_max}-V_{clamp}) \over Z_{source}} = {(4000V-1500V) \over 2\Omega}=1250A$$ $$ \text{Energy}=V_{clamp} \times I_{surge} \times T_{pulse} = 1500V \times 1250A \times 20\mu s = 37.5J$$ $$\text{Power}=\text{Energy} \times \text{cycle}=37.586s=0.625W$$

So I Selected the above Part No. And I hope this will work, but in datasheet two more graph are there , dont know how to use those two graph , if they are impacting me to select the MOV. (image attached) enter image description here

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
