Description:
The effect of Nb 2 O 5 addition on impulse aging behavior of ZnO–V 2 O 5 –MnO 2 –Co 3 O 4 –Dy 2 O 3 -based varistors was investigated. The varistors doped with 0.25 mol% Nb 2 O 5 exhibited the best clamp characteristics, in which the clamp voltage ratio was in the range of K =1.65–2.50 at an impulse current of 1–50 A. The varistors doped with 0.1 mol% Nb 2 O 5 exhibited the best electrical stability by marking %Δ E 1 mA =−1.0%, %Δα=−2.8%, and %Δ J L =31.5% after applying the impulse current of 100 A.
