The stability of paraseodymium-based zinc oxide varistor consisting of Zn-Pr-Co-Cr-Y oxide was investigated according to yttria additives under different stress conditons, such as 0.8V\ulcorner\ulcorner/373K/12h and 0.85V\ulcorner\ulcorner/393K/12h. Wholly, all varistor after the stress showed nearly symmetric and stable I-V characteristics. Particularly, in the case of 2.0mol% and 4.0mol% yttria-added varistor showing a good I-V characteristics, the varation rate of varistor voltage were less 1% and that of nonlinear coefficient were about degree of 5%, and what is remarkable, leakage current with increasing stress time during the applied stress was almost constant. It the light of these facts, it is estimated that varistor constituents having 2.0mol% and 4.0mol% yittria, respectively, will be utilized to various application fields.

A ZnO varistor with reference voltage 250V/mm was fabricated through the control of particle size in slurry and the variation of sintering conditions. It was found that to measure the flatness of the V-I characteristic curve in the small-current region and the flatness of the V-I characteristic curve in a large-current region was improved nonlinearity of the fabricated ZnO varistor. According to the IEC 60099-4 was measured the accelerated aging test and high current test of the distribution class surge varistor which is excellent in respect to the property of ZnO varistor.

Generally, ZnO varistors have dynamic characteristics that the cut-off voltage increases as the time to crest of the varistor current decreases. Dynamic characteristics of ZnO varistor are the most important factor in region of the steep front discharge current particularly. Also, V-I characteristics of ZnO varistor have hysterisis loop in time domain and frequency dependency. This paper deals with ZnO varistor numerical equation and modeling method which takes the behavior of varying clamping voltage into consideration during the time to crest, in range of $1{\mu}m{\sim}50{\mu}m$, of impulse current applied to a ZnO varistor. The simulated results by the proposed model are compared with experimental results for each of the impulse current.

Ferrite/Varistor 이종재료 동시소성에서 소성 시 두 재료간의 서로 다른 수축률에 의한 휠 거동을 ferrite 하소온도와 sheet 제조 시 binder 함량에 따라 제어하였다. Ferrite의 하소온도를 $750^{\circ}C{\sim}900^{\circ}C$로 변화시켰을 때 하소온도가 $900^{\circ}C$ 일 때 수축률이 varistor의 수축률과 악 1%미만의 차이로 가장 유사하였다. $900^{\circ}C$에서 하소한 ferrite의 slurry 제조 시 binder의 함량을 40wt%~50wt%로 변화시키면서 sheet를 제조하여 varistor와 적층하여 $900^{\circ}C{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$에서 소결하였다. Binder 함량이 40wt%에 ferrite와 varistor를 교대로 적층된 시편에서 동시소성 시 휨을 제거할 수 있었다.

The stability against DC accelerated aging stress of $Dy_{2}O_{3}-doped$ $ZnO-Pr_{6}O_{11}-based$ varistor ceramics was investigated. The calculated nonlinear exponent$(\alpha)$ in varistor ceramics without $Dy_{2}O_{3}$ was only 4.9, whereas the $\alpha$ value of the varistors with $Dy_{2}O_{3}$ was abruptly increased in the range of 48.8 to 58.6. The varistor ceramics with $Dy_{2}O_{3}$ content of 1.0 mol% exhibited maximum ${\alpha}$, reaching 58.6, whereas they exhibited very poor stability. While, The varistor ceramics doped with 0.5 mol% $Dy_{2}O_{3}$ exhibited not only the high nonlinearity, which the ${\alpha}$ is 55.3 and the leakage current is $0.1{\mu}A$， but also the highest stability, which the variation rates of varistor voltage and nonlinear exponent are -0.8% and -14.3%, respectively, under DC accelerated aging stress, $0.95 V_{1mA}/150^{\circ}C/24h$.

I-V characteristics of Praseodymium-based ZnO varistor doped with $Nd_2O_3$ in the range 0.0-2.0mol% sintered at 130$0^{\circ}C$ and 135$0^{\circ}C$ were investigated. In the all sides, ZnO varistors sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ exhibited much better varistor characteristics than that at 135$0^{\circ}C$. All ZnO varistors doped with $Nd_2O_3$ sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ exhibited good varistor characteristics but particularly ZnO varistor doped with l.Omol% $Nd_2O_3$ exhibited the best characteristics, which the nonlinear is 65.2 and the leakage current is 4.5pA. It is estimated that ZnO varistor doped with l.Omol% $Nd_2O_3$ will begin to be sufficiently used as basic composition to fabricate a good varistor.

ZnO varistors for distribution surge arrester (18kV, 5kA) were developed and tested microstructure and electrical characteristics. Microstructure of ZnO varistor was consisted of ZnO grain, spinel phase and Bi-rich phase. Average grain size of ZnO varistor was $\mu\textrm{m}$ Reference voltage and lightning impulse residual voltage of ZnO varistor exhibited a good haracteristics above 5.5kV and below 11.56kV, respectively. Consequently, discharge capacity which is the most important characteristics of ZnO varistor for surge arrester exhibited excellent properties above 70kA at twice high-current impulse test. Moreover, variation rate of reference voltage and lightning impulse residual voltage showed below 5% and 2% after high-current impulse test, respectively. Leakage current and watt loss of ZnO varistor will not increase during accelerated aging test at stress condition, such as 3.213kV/$115^{\circ}C$/1000h.

Recently, metal cases are widely used in smart phones for their luxurious color and texture. However, when a metal case is used, electric shock may occur during charging. Chip capacitors of various values are used to prevent the electric shock. However, chip capacitors are vulnerable to electrostatic discharge(ESD) generated by the human body, which often causes insulation breakdown during use. This breakdown can be eliminated with a high-voltage chip varistor over 340V, but when the varistor voltage is high, the capacitance is limited to about 2pF. If a chip capacitor with a high dielectric constant and a chip varistor with a high voltage can be combined, it is possible to obtain a new device capable of coping with electric shock and ESD with various capacitive values. Usually, varistors and capacitors differ in composition, which causes different shrinkage during co-firing, and therefore camber, internal crack, delamination and separation may occur after sintering. In addition, varistor characteristics may not be realized due to the diffusion of unwanted elements into the varistor during firing. Various elements are added to control shrinkage. In addition, a buffer layer is inserted in the middle of the varistor-capacitor junction to prevent diffusion during firing, thereby developing a co-fired product with desirable characteristics.
