Abstract:
A process for producing zinc oxide varistors possessed a property of breakdown voltage (V1mA) ranging from 230 to 1,730 V/mm is to perform the doping of zinc oxide and the sintering of zinc oxide grains with a high-impedance sintered powder through two independent procedures, so that the doped zinc oxide and the high-impedance sintered powder are well mixed in a predetermined ratio and then used to make the zinc oxide varistors through conventional technology by low-temperature sintering (lower than 900° C.); the resultant zinc oxide varistors may use pure silver as inner electrode and particularly possess breakdown voltage ranging from 230 to 1,730 V/mm.

Abstract:
A ZnO surge arrester for high-temperature operation is characterized in that a grain boundary layer between ZnO grains thereof contains a BaTiO3-based positive temperature coefficient thermistor material, which takes 10-85 mol % in the overall grain boundary layer, and when operating temperature raises, the positive temperature coefficient thermistor material in the grain boundary layer has its resistance sharply increasing with the raising temperature, so as to compensate or partially compensate decrease in resistance of components in the grain boundary layer caused by the raising temperature, thereby making the resistance of the grain boundary layer in the ZnO surge arrester more independent of temperature. The ZnO surge arrester thus is suitable for operation where a maximum operating temperature is higher than 125° C., or even higher than 150° C.

Abstract:
A process for producing zinc oxide varistor is disclosed to allow that one step of having zinc oxide grains doped with non-equivalent ions and sufficiently semiconductorized and the other one step of preparing sintered powders having property of high-impedance are prepared by two separate procedures respectively, resulted in that the zinc oxide varistor produced by the process features both a high potential gradient and a high non-linearity coefficient; and more particularly the disclosed process is suited for producing a specific zinc oxide varistor whose potential gradient ranges from 2,000 to 9000 V/mm as well as non-linearity coefficient (α) ranges from 21.5 to 55.
