Abstract The electrical and thermal characteristics of metal oxide varistor (MOV) are essential for the study of MOV performance and degradation. This paper provides a modelling method of MOV to simulate its microstructure geometry with the Voronoi network and derive the electrical functions on the grain boundaries. A series of discrete data to describe the resistance‐voltage (R–V) characteristics of MOV from experiments is applied to the proposed model. Through 8/20 μs surge current experiments, the electrical conductivity of MOV is determined to achieve the simulation of the clamping voltage. With this model, the current distribution and temperature distribution over a MOV sample are simulated and analysed by the finite element method (FEM). The simulation results show good agreement with the experimental measurement and inherent feature of MOV. |
