85A2/0G3 LTspice model?

[JoeAlders]

Until now, when I wanted to simulate a stab tube like the 85A2/0G3 or the 0A2, I simply inserted a DC voltage source.
But is there already a LTspice model for those stab tubes available?

I don't have LTspice installed on this machine, but IIRC the "miscellaneous" folder contains a configurable neon bulb model.

You just need to specify the various parameters like strike voltage, resistance, hold current, etc.

This should be easy to extract from the characteristics of the regulator tubes (using a bit of common sense, obviously).

I will check tomorrow

Thanks Elvee. Much appreciated!

Here it is, with the neon bulb crudely parametrized to look like an 0A2:

Thank you very much for your help here! Did not know that
there was a "neon bulb" in the LTspice library.
Used your model with success and will use it in all my other simulations where I use stab tubes

Thanks, that was helpful!
