This paper presents a characteristic prediction of a varistor for modeling a varistor in over-voltage protection applications. Variable resistor (Varistor) is one of common devices to protect following electric devices from over-voltage. However, the principle of varistor is still unclear due to its non-linear characteristics between amount of voltage and current. To model the non-linearity, the prediction using adaptive network-based-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) will be used with several datasets obtained by a high-voltage experiment concerning to the varistor. The result can be used to model the varistor as a voltage clipping device. © 2014 Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
