Abstract Microstructure homogeneity and grain size reduction are needed to ensure the current uniformity and reliability required in metal oxide varistors for DC circuit breakers. Cold sintering (CS)–a low‐temperature digestive liquid and high‐pressure densification process–has previously shown reduced grain growth, but it is not clear how the lower ...

Improving current sharing between parallel varistors
Metal oxide varistors are widely used in many power electronics circuits to protect against transient over voltages. Certain applications can be very demanding on the energy handling capability of the varistors.

Thermal Runaway in Metal Oxide Varistors
The conditions leading to thermal runaway in metal oxide varistors are discussed in terms of its power dissipation. An equivalent circuit is used to rationalize the similarities and differences between the DC and 60 Hz ac behavior.

Prolonged exposure of zinc oxide varistors to the electrical load leads to current-voltage characteristics (CVC) deformation, which is associated with a change in the height and width of the intergranular barriers, which are the main structural element ...

The effects of Cu dopant on the microstructure and non-ohmic electrical properties of ZnO varistors
The doping effects of Cu on the microstructure and non-ohmic electrical properties of ZnO varistors were studied. Addition of Cu2O can enhance the ZnO grain growth during sintering. The SEM and EDS results revealed that the added Cu mainly distributed in

Influence Mechanism of Micro Grain-boundary Parameters to the Electrical Properties of ZnO Varistor
ZnO varistors exhibit excellent nonlinear voltage–current characteristics and substantial energy capacity, enabling them to absorb impulse energy during power system overvoltages and thus protect the electrical equipment.
