Abstract

This paper describes the AC accelerated ageing characteristics of zinc oxide varistors for the station class lightning surge arresters. ZnO varistors whose rated voltage were 3.27kV, 4.00kV, and 6.00kV were manufactured with general ceramic production methods. The power loss of sample A varistors rapidly increased and eventually showing the thermal run-away, but sample B and sample C varistors exhibited negative creep phenomena in power losses during the test.
