What is mov and how Do i implement in my power circuit...

SELECTING THE PROPER MOV VOLTAGE RATING:
1. Determine the required voltage rating.
First, the maximum steady-state operating voltage of the circuit must be determined. Care must be taken to use the upper tolerance limit of the voltage source, e.g., for a 220VAC line,a 10% high line condition should be assumed, resulting in 242 Volts. Once the level is determined, refer to the column in the data table headed "Maximum Continuous Voltage" and select a group having the nearest greater value to this level.

We don't. I have no clue who manufactured it. I have no data sheet on it.

If you had the tools needed you could place a voltmeter across it and a mA meter in series with it and apply a voltage and note where it begins to draw current as you increase (slowly) the voltage across it. This is where a good curve tracer device comes in handy.
