An Experimental Study of the Failure Mode of ZnO Varistors Under Multiple Lightning Strokes
In this study, in order to explore the failure mode of ZnO varistors under multiple lightning strokes, a five-pulse 8/20 μs nominal lightning current with pulse intervals of 50 ms was applied to ZnO varistors. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray

Effect of the sintering temperature on the electrical properties of Y–Al‐doped ZnO varistors
The effect mechanism of sintering temperature on the electrical properties of Y–Al‐doped ZnO varistors was revealed in this paper. It not only enriches the theoretical basis for the performance regulation of ZnO varistors but also provides a scientific basis for their application under higher requirements.

Simulation methods were used to help reveal the effect mechanism of Y, Bi, and Co dopants on ZnO varistors. It provides an important theoretical basis for the development of high‐performance varistor. Abstract ZnO varistors doped with Y2O3${\rm Y}_2{\rm O}_3$, Bi2O3${\rm Bi}_2{\rm O}_3$, and Co2O3${\rm Co}_2{\rm O}_3$ were analyzed for electrical ...

Effect of Zn7Sb2O12 pre-synthesis on microstructure and properties of ZnO varistor ceramics
In this work, the Zn7Sb2O12 spinel phase is pre-synthesized at 980, 1000, 1020, 1040, and 1060 °C by mixing ZnO and Sb2O3 in a molar ratio of 7:1. ZnO varistors are prepared by replacing Sb2O3 with the Zn7Sb2O12 spinel phase.

The role of oxide optimization in improving the electrical properties of ZnO varistors
Zinc oxide-based varistors are nonlinear voltage-dependent ceramic resistors used to suppress and limit transient voltage surges. However, due to their structural inhomogeneity, current concentration may come into existence, which causes thermal stress ...
