Structure of a Novel Spinel Li0.5Zn5/3Sb2.5/3O4 by Neutron and Synchrotron Diffraction Analysis
Zn7/3Sb2/3O4 is a secondary phase in ZnO-based varistors. Acceptor impurities, such as Li+, increase the resistivity. This effect is produced by a modification of the grain boundary barriers.

Electrical properties of ZnO varistors prepared by direct mixing of constituent phases [PDF]
Varistor samples containing different amounts of constituent phases were prepared by direct mixing of constituent phases. Detailed electrical characterization was performed to explain the influence of minor phases (spinel and intergranular phases) on ...

Zinc oxide varistors are among the most important surge arresters. The current-voltage (I–V) behaviour of these devices can be approximated by a model of electrical networks of grain boundaries arranged in 3D space, where nonlinear resistors mimic the ...

Abstract Electromagnetic sounding coupled with experimental measurements of electrical conductivity (EC) can provide valuable constraints on the thermochemical state of Earth's lower mantle. Here, we report a new set of experimentally determined EC values of pyrolite, a candidate composition of the lower mantle, between 25 and 80 GPa at room ...

Data-Driven Matching Methodology for Enhanced MOV Current Sharing in DC Solid-State Circuit Breakers
Metal oxide varistors (MOVs) are widely used as the energy absorption branch in DC solid-state circuit breakers (SSCBs), but reliable operation requires predictable current and energy sharing among paralleled MOV discs. This article proposes a low-effort,

The Role of Polypyrrole in Electrical Properties of ZnO-Polymer Composite Varistors [PDF]
Composite films on the base of ZnO with different weight percentages of polypyrrole have been prepared using the hot pressing method and their current-voltage characteristics have been studied. Results show that the films have nonlinear varistor behavior

Synthesis of SnO2 nanoparticles and their use in the fabrication of varistors
SnO2 nanoparticles doped with TiO2, CoO, Nb2O3 and Al2O3 were obtained in this work using the methods of coprecipitation and polymeric precursor. X Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the ceramic ...

Metastable Barrier Voltage in ZnO Varistors
A reversible change in barrier voltage is observed in assintered ZnO varistors upon application and removal of the applied voltage. This is attributed to a metastable component in the grain boundary Schottky barriers.

Changes in varistors properties after radial field test [PDF]
ZnO varistors are used in commercial surge arresters in high voltage application in the area of power engineering. Metal oxide arresters (MOA) operated in polluted areas may be subjected to an environmental stresses causing an internal partial discharges
