  1. Determine the necessary steady-state voltage (working voltage).

  2. Establish the transient energy absorbed by the varistor.

  3. Calculate the peak transient current through the varistor.

  4. Determine power dissipation requirement.

  5. Select a model to provide the required voltage- clampling characteristics.
