| Popis: | We introduced the varistor having more powerful surge suppression capability. This research focuses on the effect of sintering time on electrical properties and pulse current degradation of Pr/Co/Cr/Y/Mg co-doped zinc oxide varistors for surge suppression. With increasing sintering time, the breakdown field decreased from 2768 to 1680 V/cm, and the nonlinear coefficient decreased from 57.7 to 29.3. Considering pulse current, a higher nonlinear coefficient led to the lower clamp voltage ratio. Therefore, the sample sintered for 1 h exhibited the best clamp characteristics, in which the clamp voltage ratio was in the range of K = 1.52–1.77 for pulse currents of 1–10 A and K = 2.04–3.43 for pulse currents of 400–2500 A. Considering pulse absorption capability, the sample sintered for 3 h exhibited the strongest electrical stability; − 3.9% in ∆ E 1 m A / c m 2 / E 1 m A / c m 2 and − 6.9% ∆α1 / α1 after application of a pulse current of 2500 A. |
