How to model the MOV in PSIM using .lib.

I want to simulate the MOV model (.lib is available from bourns - ISOMOV); but unable to do the same. Please help. Thanks!

    Hi @yogendra,

    MOV and GDT are mainly for surge protection purposes. Their characteristics do not affect the system's operation.

    Therefore, PSIM and LTspice, and many other simulation software do not have their models.

    If you can provide the datasheets, the test circuit schematic, and the reason why you want to simulate those elements, we will see if we can use PSIM's nonlinear elements to help them to build the model.

    Regards,
    Amit
