Boundary breakdown time of ZnO varistors under nanosecond pulse current

AIP Advances, 2019
Conductive properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) varistor ceramics depend on the boundary barrier structure. By using the photoconductivity switches (PCSS) technology, the boundary breakdown characteristics of ZnO varistors for nanosecond electric pulse ...

Effect of sintering temperature on microstructure and nonlinear electrical characteristics of ZnO varistor [PDF]

Journal of Advanced Dielectrics, 2018
The nonlinear properties of ZBMCCS-based varistors, which are composed of ZnO–Bi2O3–MnO2–Cr2O3–Sb2O3–Co3O4 and SiO2 are studied inrelation to sintering temperature, in the range of 1280–1350∘C.

Abnormal Expansion Along the Synthesis of Zinc Stannate: A Way for Porous Ceramics Without Addition of Pore Generators

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 2, February 2026.
The abnormal expansion associated with the simultaneous synthesis and sintering of Zn2SnO4 from ZnO and SnO2 is due to the reaction mechanism and correlated with the conversion. This phenomenon opens the way to manufacture porous ceramics without the addition of pore generators, simplifying the process, and especially the thermal treatment.

Effect of MnO2${ ext{MnO}}_{2}$ doping on AC aging characteristics of varistor in arrester

International Journal of Ceramic Engineering & Science
As the core component of lightning arrester, the performance of ZnO varistor directly affects the protection level of lightning arrester. Under the action of long‐term AC voltage, the varistors are prone to AC aging, which leads to the deterioration of ...

The Influence of Ni2O3 Doping Concentration on the Alternating Current Aging Characteristics of ZnO Varistor

International Journal of Ceramic Engineering &Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT When the surge arrester is subjected to the working voltage for an extended period, it undergoes alternating current (AC) aging, which degrades the arrester's parameters and affects the safety of the power grid. Ni2O3 is an important additive in the ZnO varistor formulation, and its doping ratio significantly influences the performance of the ...

Determining the effect of bismuth oxide on the microstructure and electrical response of cold‐sintered ZnO varistors

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 1, January 2026.
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 ...

Modeling of electrical transport in Zinc Oxide varistors [PDF]

Advances in Radio Science, 2014
The electrical transport in zinc oxide (ZnO) varistors is analyzed using microstructural material modeling. The fully three dimensional current distribution is computed by means of a nonlinear equivalent circuit model representing the assembly of current

Control of Varistor Voltage by Grain-size Control of Bi-added ZnO Varistors

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2011
Relationship between the grain size of ZnO and the amounts of Bi and Sb for Bi-Ba-Sb-Co-Mn-added ZnO was investigated. The amount of Bi at which the grain size of ZnO became the maximum shifted to the notably larger one by adding small amount of Sb such as 0.01 mol%.

Computer Simulation of ZnO Varistors Failures [PDF]

MRS Proceedings, 1997
ABSTRACTA simple thermo-mechanical model is applied to evaluate the influence of the nonuni-formity of ZnO varistor disks used in surge arresters on their energy handling capability. By solving heat transfer equations for a varistor disk with nonuniform electrical properties, we compute the time dependence of the temperature profile and the ...

Fabrication and electrical characteristics of flash-sintered SiO2-doped ZnO-Bi2O3-MnO2 varistors

Journal of Advanced Ceramics, 2020
The dense ZnO-Bi2O3-MnO2-xSiO2 (ZBMS) varistors for x = 0, 1, 2, 3 wt% were fabricated by flash sintering method under the low temperature of 850 °C within 2 min. The sample temperature was estimated by a black body radiation model in the flash sintering
