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 $0.26{\mu}A$

The microstructure and electrical properties of the varistors, which are composed of $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}-CoO-Cr_2O_3-La_2O_3-based$ ceramics, were investigated for different $La_2O_3$ contents. The increase of $La_2O_3$ content led to more densified ceramics, whereas abruptly decreased the nonlinear properties by incorporating beyond 1.0 mol%. The highest nonlinearity was obtained from 0.5 mol% $La_2O_3$, with the nonlinear coefficient of 81.6 and the leakage current of $0.2{\mu}A$. The increase of sintering time and temperature greatly decreased the nonlinear properties. As the $La_2O_3$ content increased, the donor density increased from $0.64\times10^{18}/cm^3\;to\;16.89\times10^{18}/cm^3$ and the barrier height greatly decreased with increasing $La_2O_3$ content, reaching a maximum (1.47 eV) in 0.5 mol% $La_2O_3$.

The varistor properties and DC accelerated aging characteristics of $ZnO-Pr_{6}O_{11}-CoO-Cr_{2}O_{3}$-based varistors were investigated at different $La_{2}O_3$ contents in the range of $0{\sim}2.0mol%$. The varistors doped with 0.5 mol% $La_{2}O_3$ exhibited good nonlinearity, with 81.6 in nonlinear coefficient. Increasing the $La_{2}O_3$ content further to 2.0 mol% caused the sintered density to increase, and the breakdown voltage and nonlinearity to decrease abruptly. The varistors with 0.5 mol% $La_{2}O_3$ exhibited the high electrical stability, with -1.14% in variation rate of breakdown voltage, -3.7% in variation rate of nonlinear coefficient, and +100% in variation rate of leakage current for specified DC accelerated aging stress condition (95% of breakdown voltage/$150^{\circ}C$/24 h).

The electrical and dielectric properties of $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}CoO-Cr_2O_3La_2O_3-based$ nonlinear resistors were investigated at different sintering temperatures in the range of $1230{\sim}1300^{|circ}C$. As the sintering temperature increased, the breakdown voltage decreased from 777.9 to 108.0V/mm, the nonlinear coefficient greatly decreased from 77.0 to 7.1, and the leakage current increased from $0.4{\mu}A\;to\;50.6{\mu}A$. On the other hand, the donor density from $0.90{\times}10^{18}\;to\;2.59{\times}10^{18}/cm^3$ and the barrier height decreased from 1.89 to 0.69 eV with increasing temperature. The dielectric dissipation factor increased from 0.0879 to 0.2839 for the increase of sintering temperature.

The microstructure, electrical and dielectric properties, and stability against DC accelerated aging stress of the varistors, which are composed of quaternary system $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}CoO-Cr_2O_3-based$ ceramics, were investigated for different $La_2O_3$ contents. The increase of $La_2O_3$ content led to more densified ceramics, whereas abruptly decreased the nonlinear properties by incorporating beyond 1.0mol%. The highest nonlinearity was obtained from 0.5mol% $La_2O_3$, with the nonlinear coefficient of 81.6 and the leakage current of $0.1{\mu}A$. The varistors doped with 0.5mol% $La_2O_3$ exhibited high stability, in which the variation rates of breakdown voltage, nonlinear coefficient, leakage current, dielectric constant, and dissipation factor were -1.1%, -3.7%, +100%, +1.4%, and +8.2%, respectively, for stressing state of $0.95V_{1mA}/150^{\circ}C/24h$.
