Study on Microstructure of ZnO Lighting Arrester with High Voltage Gradient

Abstract:

To obtain ZnO arrester with high voltage gradient and small size, through the optimizing foundamental formula of arrester and changing sintering temperature and holding time, the electrical properties and microstructure of varistors were studied. The density of varistors was determined by using the mass - volume method , voltage gradient and leakage current of ZnO arrester were measured with Ⅱ Surge Arrester Tester DC parameters, microstructure of varistor ceramics were studied by means XRD and SEM. The experimental results show that with increasement of the sintering temperature, the density of varistors increases, and the voltage gradient continues to decrease and leakage current almost keeps unchangable. As the holding time increases, while as the voltage gradient continues to decrease, and leakage current almost unchanges.
