Features of Zinc Metal Oxide Varistor Disc for Surge Arrester
Small current area: the resistance sheet presents a high resistance value, and the current flowing is below 1mA. The ratio of the inflexion point voltage to the thickness of the resistance sheet in this area is a potential gradient.
Non-linear area: It is the working area of the resistor. The flatter the U-I curve, the higher the non-linear coefficient of the resistor; The wider the range, the better the flow capacity.
High current area: the resistance sheet may be damaged when it enters the low resistance state.

The Structure of A ZnO (Zinc Oxide) Resistor
The structure of a ZnO (Zinc Oxide) resistor typically consists of several key components:
ZnO grain: it is the main body of the resistance sheet, there is a small amount of cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn) and other elements in the solid solution accounting for more than 90% of the volume, and the size is 5-15 μ m. The resistivity is 0.001-0. l Ω. m and there is a small amount of cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn) and other elements in the solid solution.
Grain boundary layer: it is the enrichment area of dopants. The resistivity under a low electric field is greater than l00M Ω. m, and it is in the conduction state under a high electric field. The grain boundary layer is the source of pressure-sensitive characteristics.
The combination of these components forms the fundamental structure of a ZnO resistor. This structure is designed to enable the resistor to function effectively, especially in applications related to surge protection, where it limits overvoltage and ensures the stability of electrical systems.
