ZPCCL계 바리스터의 충격전류 스트레스에 대한 노화 특성

Degradation Characteristics Against Impulse Current Stress of ZPCCL-Based Varistors

The microstructure, electrical, and degradation characteristics against impulse current of ZPCCL-based varistors were investigated with various sintering temperature in the range of $1240\sim1300^{\circ}C$. The densification of varistors was improved, but the nonlinearity was deteriorated with increase of sintering temperature. The varistors sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ and $1260^{\circ}C$ exhibited high stability against surge stress. On the whole, the variation of characteristics of varistor for surge stress was increased in order of varistor voltage$\rightarrow$nonlinear exponent$\rightarrow$dissipation factor$\rightarrow$leakage current.
