Repetitive Impulse Withstand Performance of Metal–Oxide Varistors

IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 2017
This study focuses on the relationship between test current waveforms and impulse withstand capability of metal–oxide varistors (MOVs) (withstand energy, current density, and the number of withstand shots) in repetitive impulse application and discusses the mechanical and electrical failure mechanisms.

Failure Analysis of Zinc Oxide Varistor under Multiple Lightning Strikes

Journal of Physics: Conference Series
Metal oxide arresters (MOAs) with zinc oxide varistor ceramics as core components serve as critical overvoltage protection devices in power systems. However, multiple lightning strikes can accelerate the aging rate of zinc oxide varistors, reduce their ...

Testing Metal–Oxide Varistors for HVDC Breaker Application

IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 2019
There is growing interest in changing the power grid infrastructure. It is increasingly important to transport a large amount of renewable energy over long distances. To minimize losses, meshed dc-grids are needed but require the development of dc circuit breakers. Without it, a meshed grid cannot be operated. Actually different concepts of dc breakers

A new component - the metal oxide varistor suppressor

1972 IEEE Power Processing and Electronics Specialists Conference, 1972
The paper deals with the novel aspects of a newly developed transient voltage suppressor. Details of its operation, fabrication and characterization are given. Its performance is compared against the more familiar devices currently used for transient voltage protection including devices such as spark gaps, zeners and selenium suppressors.

Nano-Enabled Metal Oxide Varistors for Surge Protection

2008 IEEE International Power Modulators and High-Voltage Conference, 2008
Commercial metal oxide varistor (MOV) devices provide a combination of high voltage, peak current, pulse energy absorption, and fast response speed. The non-uniformity and defects, however, may lead to relatively low voltage and energy dissipation, high leakage, low reliability and mechanical cracking.

An Effective Approximate Mathematical Expression for Non-Linear Resistance Characteristics of Metal Oxide Elements

IEEE transactions on electromagnetic compatibility (Print)
A metal oxide varistor (MOV), manufactured from a blend of zinc oxide and other metal oxides, undergoes changes in resistance or resistivity depending on changes in applied voltage or electric field strength.

Grain Resistivity and Conduction in Metal Oxide Varistors

1986
Metal oxide varistors are ceramic devices with highly nonlinear current-voltage characteristics similar to back-to-back Zener diodes.1−4 Typical I-V characteristics for a metal oxide varistor at 77 K and for a small range of temperatures near 300 K are shown in Fig. 1. They are produced by sintering ZnO powder together with small amounts (1 to 10 mole %
