Abstract

The electrical properties of ZnO-$Pr_6O_{11}$-CoO-$Cr_2O_3-La_2O_3$ based varistors were investigated with sintering temperature in the range of $1240\sim1300^{\circ}C$. The varistors sintered at $1240\sim1260^{\circ}C$ exhibited high density, which was 5.50- $5.70g/cm^3$ corresponding to 95.2~98.6% of theoretical density. The varistor voltage was decreased in range of 718.47~108.00 V/mm with increasing sintering temperarture. The varistors sintered at $1240\sim1260^{\circ}C$ exhibited good electrical properties, in which the nonlinear exponent is in the range of 79.25~49.22 and leakage current is in the range of 0.26~$1.00 {\mu}A$ In particular, the varistor sintered at $1240^{\circ}C$ showed very excellent electrical properties, in which the nonlinear exponent is 79.25 and leakage current is $0.26{\mu}A$
