A Study on Microstructure for Influence on Operating Voltage of Zinc-Oxide Ceramic Varistor
Conference paper
Abstract
In this study, the metal oxide TiO2 was selected as the control material for grain growth in order to lower the operating voltage of low-voltage high-energy absorbing element, and in order to review the influence of change in the added amount of oxide TiO2 on the crystal structure and voltage-current characteristics, the crystal structure directly influencing the dynamic voltage was measured with electronic scan microscope, and to check the potential as a low-voltage varistor, the voltage-current characteristics were measured and checked.
