Abstract

Zinc oxide varistors which contain rare earth metal oxides have been developed. These Varistors are widely used for low voltage surge-protection devices and high voltage arresters for electric power stations. The characteristics of varistors with praseodymium oxide as a principal additive are discussed. A two-phase microstructure with an intergranular phase between the ZnO grains.
