Investigation of Diagnostic Techniques for Metal Oxide Surge Arresters [PDF]

, 2005
Gapless metal oxide surge arresters(MOSA)have been available in the market for many years since they were first introduced in the 1970's. The aim of this study is to investigate some reliable diagnostic techniques to assess the condition of a metal oxide

Non-Linear I-V Characteristics of Double Schottky Barriers and Polycrystalline Semiconductors

, 1992
An attempt to determine theoretically the highly non-linear current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of polycrystalline semiconductors, such as ZnO-based varistors, is made from the electrical properties of individual grain boundaries under dc bias.

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 ...

Influence of Sintering Temperature and ZrO₂ Dopants on the Microstructure and Electrical Properties of Zinc Oxide Varistors

IEEE Access, 2019
This paper investigated the effects of sintering temperature on the microstructure and electrical properties of ZrO2-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) varistor ceramics. The results show that, the additive ZrO2 exists as independent second phase between ZnO grains,

Microstructural Characterization of ZnO Varistors.

Journal of the Japan Society of Powder and Powder Metallurgy, 1995
Two kinds of commercial ZnO system varistors were investigated with relevance to their microstructures. Particularly, face-to-face fracture surfaces were characterized in terms of secondary electron image and backscatterd electron image to clarify the existence of precipitates at the grain-to-grain interface.
