Abstract

Varistor fabricated with ZnO nano-powder was studied about the characteristic of energy capability in this paper. ZnO nano-powder varistor were sintered in air at $1050\;^{\circ}C$. The electrical properties and residual voltage of ZnO nano-powder varistor were obtained. Our ZnO nano-powder varistor has about 3 times of electric field at varistor voltage as compared with commercial ZnO varistor fabricated with micro-powder. In the current impulse withstand test, our nano varistor has had better performance than micro varistor. To analysis energy capability take infrared images for pyrexia distribution of each varistor. ZnO Nano-powder varistor has shown much quick response property because of increasing effective cross-section.
