Electrical characterization and modeling of varistors

Abstract

In this work, a generalized experimental methodology was developed for the electrical characterization of metal oxide varistors and for analyzing their behavior under DC and AC voltages of various frequencies (45 Hz – 1 kHz) and under electromagnetic pulses in a wide energy and frequency range. To study the response of metal oxide varistors, new mathematical expressions were developed to calculate their current conduction, power losses, and energy stress. Furthermore, an experimental methodology was developed to determine varistors voltage-current characteristic, dynamic inductance, and voltage-dependent capacitance. Based on the above, a model was developed for the electromagnetic transient simulation software ATP-EMTP to simulate varistors response in the time domain. The results of the proposed model were found to be in satisfactory agreement with experimentally obtained data regarding the current conduction of varistors, the residual voltage, and the power and energy dissipation in ...
