Degradation in ZnO varistors

Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 1993
Among the mechanisms suggested to account for degradation of varistor materials, ion migration has strong support. Mobile, positively charged ions in the depletion layer would be the key element in degradation. In this context, the authors discuss the consequences of an electrical stressing on the current-temperature characteristic of a comment ...

Investigation of dielectric relaxation and degradation behavior of two-step sintered ZnO varistors

Ceramics International, 2019
In this study, ZnO varistors using sub-micron varistor powders by two-step sintering were fabricated in contrast to conventional sintering. The microstructures, electrical properties, and the degradation behavior under a severe dc electric field and a ...

Low-frequency response of low-voltage metal-oxide varistors used for telecommunication systems protection

IEEE International Conference on High Voltage Engineering and Application, 2020
The low-frequency response of metal-oxide varistors, commonly used in telecommunication systems and networks, is investigated. The voltage-current characteristic and capacitance of varistors are obtained experimentally.

Theory Of ZnO Varistors

MRS Proceedings, 1981
The theory of ZnO varistors has evolved along with the increasingly detailed experimental description [1-2]. The extreme nonlinearity in the currentvoltage curves naturally led the early investigators to suggest the well-known nonlinear mechanisms, such as space-charge limited currents or electron tunneling. Later experiments made these first proposals

Polarization currents in varistors

Journal of Applied Physics, 1990
The time, voltage, and temperature dependencies of transient polarization currents are reported for two types of varistors (i.e., ZnO and a SiC composite). The current transients exhibit a power-law time response to a step change in voltage (i.e., I≊I0/tm, where m is slightly less than unity) that persists over a time scale exceeding 10−8–104 s.

Breakdown phenomenon of ZnO varistors caused by non-uniform distribution of internal pores

, 2019
Here, we analyzed the internal structure of ZnO varistors with X-ray micro-CT technology and showed that the porosity and pore volume at the radial edge is considerably higher than at other regions.

Time Dependence of Degradation in ZnO Varistors

physica status solidi (a), 1982
Starting from the results of a previous paper on the functional relationship of the degradation of ZnO-varistors and the influence factors (especially U, I,T) an equation system is derived to describe the time-dependence of the degradation. The solutions including the contribution of degradation-, recovery- and increasing effects of currents and ...

Effect of Pr6O11 doping on the microstructure and electrical properties of ZnO varistors

, 2019
ZnO-Pr6O11 based varistors have anticipated application prospect in electrical system, but the study of the detailed microstructure is still poor. In this paper, the effect of Pr6O11 doping on the microstructure (such as element distributions and grain ...

Grain growth kinetics and electrical properties of CuO doped SnO2-based varistors

Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2019
Up to now, attempts for developing coarse-grained SnO2-based varistors which exhibit high nonlinearity property at lower voltage have become a challenge without any prominent result because of its unknown grain growth mechanism. In this study, the effect

Zinc oxide varistors

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.
