I'm presuming that an MOV (varistor) can be described with an equation
defining resistance versus voltage?

But I can't locate a site that gives such an equation.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Here's one:-

Basically just a voltage dependent resistance plus some parasitics-
they don't really have hysteresis.


Thanks! Should have known... Brian Hirasuna was one of PSpice's best
support engineers, along with Charlie Edmondson (and Mohi :-)... they
actually know simulators _and_ circuits!
