Abstract

ZnO varistor ceramics were fabricated with variation of addition of $Nd_2O_3$ amount and the sintering temperature was $l150^{/circ}C$. The average grain sizes were showed decreased from $13.8{\mu}m$ to $4.7{\mu}m$, and varistor voltages were increased from 398 V to 657 V by added amount of $Nd_2O_3$. Nonlinear coefficient a of all were with increasing the amount of $Nd_2O_3$ more than 60, in case of added on 0.1mol% $Nd_2O_3$ was 87. And leakage current were less than $1_{\mu}A$ with applied at 82% of varistor voltage. The clamping voltage ratio of the specimes added 0.1mol% $Nd_2O_3$ was 1.38 at applied 25A [$8/20{\mu}s$]. In the specimen added 0.1mol% $Nd_2O_3$, endurence of surge current and deviation of varistor voltage were 7000A/$cm^2$, $\Delta-2.08%$, respectively.
