Abstract
Recently, the natural environment changes drastically and the frequency of occurrence for lightning has gradually been increased. Such lightning delivers high volume of energy along the power line and communication line to the equipment in use. The high volume of energy arising from the lightning surge develops in fast velocity to destroy the facilities in power source and many other facilities in operation in sequential destruction with vast energy. This paper examines the characteristics of ZnO varistor to prevent from thermal runaway. We carry out performance evaluation of electrical characteristics on ZnO varistor. we will develop ZnO varistor Prevented from thermal explosion using test result of this paper.
