dv/dt Dependence in metal oxide varistors
Electronics Letters, 1986 A dv/dt dependence has been observed in metal oxide varis-tors during impulse testing. A lossy dielectric model which provides a qualitative explanation of this behaviour can also be used to account for current overshoot.

Strain‐Induced Redistribution of Point Defects in ZnO Nanoparticles
Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2026.Powder compaction generates local strain effects in ZnO nanoparticles. This alters the abundance of intrinsic point defects and impacts the semiconductor's electronic structure. Such changes were analyzed by a combination of spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations and emphasize the importance of strain effects in the design and ...

Measuring the energy handling capability of metal oxide varistors [PDF]
16th International Conference and Exhibition on Electricity Distribution (CIRED 2001), 2001 Metal oxide varistors are widely used in many power electronics circuits to protect against transient over voltages. Certain applications are very demanding on the energy handling capability of the varistors. This paper gives an overview of the failure modes of ZnO varistors and investigates their characteristics when subjected to repetitive current ...
