Model for non-linear load in Pspice? Reply

Hello,

I need a model for a non-linear load (15 W Compact Fluorescent Lamp) in Pspice. I modeled a 25 W incandescent bulb using a resistor but I am not sure how to model a CFL. I am using OrCAD 16.5 Demo software. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

You can model non -linear loads using controlled sources (mainly G device). Refer the following two application notes for additional details.
