Thermal breakdown in ZnO-varistor ceramics
Physica Status Solidi (a), 1980Thermal breakdowns representing an essential mechanism for the lifetime limitation of ZnO-varistor ceramics are characterized with respect to the parameters of the breakdown point (especially breakdown temperature Tb) (for 21 °C as ambient temperature: Tb = 174 °C).

IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, 1989
An overview is given of zinc oxide varistors, which are made of semiconducting ceramics with highly nonohmic current-voltage characteristics, which originate at the grain boundaries. These varistors are widely utilized to protect electric power lines and electronic components against dangerous voltage surges.

Varistor effect in semiconductor ferroelectrics
Technical Physics, 1997This paper treats the effect of an external field on the magnitude of potential barriers and the potential contour near a charged boundary between crystallites in polycrystalline ferroelectric semiconductors. It is shown that this effect depends on the mutual directions of the external field and the polarization in the ferroelectric bulk, and that the ...

Hybrid Circuits, 1993
Various thick film varistor constructions were made and characterised: ‘sandwich’, ‘interdigitated’ and ‘segmented’ varistors. The varistor active layer thickness, the electrode surface value and shape were varied. The Ul characteristics of these varistors were compared mutually, and with the Ul characteristics of the smallest chip varistors.

Photoconduction of ZnO-Bi2O3 varistors
Journal of Materials Science Letters, 1989Zinc oxide (ZnO) ceramics with a few mol % Bi203, CoO, MnO, Sb203, etc., as additives exhibit a high non-ohmic property in their voltage-current characteristics [1, 2], and therefore they are called varistors and are widely used for surge protection against transient voltage and powder overload [3].

Varistor versus Environment: Winning the Rematch
IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 1986An unusual case of difficult application of surge protective devices was solved by field measurements with retrofit of protective devices suitable for the particular environment. Onsite measurements indicated that capacitor switching transients were causing excessive current surges in the varistors and fuses protecting the input to a thyristor motor ...

The physics of zinc oxide varistors
Journal of Applied Physics, 1977This paper presents a physical description of the action of ZnO varistors, which are complex ceramic bodies of ZnO grains sintered in an oxide flux; their conductivity is very low at low voltage, but becomes high after a certain breakdown voltage is reached. It is found that depletion layers in the ZnO adjacent to the intergranular layers of oxide flux

Modeling and Simulation of Varistors
2014Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit verschiedenen Problemen im Zusammenhang mit Varistoren und Mikrovaristoren, welche dank ihrer außergewöhnlichen, nichtlinearen elektrischen Leitfähigkeit zur Unterdrückung transienter Überspannungen eingesetzt werden. Diese Arbeit ist vor allem dadurch motiviert, dass man zum einen das Verhalten von Überspannungsableitern ...
