Nondestructive Testing in Diagnostics of High-voltage Varistors
نویسندگان
چکیده
− High voltage varistors that consist of grained ZnO have to be tested before assembling. The recommended method for standard industrial testing of varistors demands application of high voltages and intensive currents that is inconvenient and needs extensive power consumption. Nondestructive methods for varistor quality and endurance evaluation have been proposed. They rely on the application of resonant ultrasound spectroscopy and nonlinearity testing. The parameters of assessment have been proposed and the results of measurements performed for several hundreds of varistor samples are quoted.

Quality Assessment of Metal Oxide Varistors by Noise Spectroscopy
− The noise spectroscopy in a frequency domain has been used as a diagnostic tool of high-voltage varistors consisting of grained ZnO. The electrical properties of tested specimens have been described. In this experimental study, we present the applied measurement system and the results of noise spectrum measurements for the selected structures of 280 V varistors. Noise properties are related t...
متن کاملLOW-TEMPERATURE SINTERING OF HIGH VOLTAGE GRADIENT ZnO-BASED THICK FILM VARISTORS
High voltage gradient ZnO-based thick film varistors were fabricated by low-temperature sintering. The effect of sintering temperature on electrical properties of thick film varistors was investigated. The voltage gradient of thick film varistors increased significantly to 3159.4 V/mm after sintering at 725°C for 30 min. The small average grain size with good grain boundaries was the origin for...
متن کاملThe Role of Polypyrrole in Electrical Properties of ZnO-Polymer Composite Varistors
Composite films on the base of ZnO with different weight percentages of polypyrrole have been prepared using the hot pressing method and their current-voltage characteristics have been studied. Results show that the films have nonlinear varistor behavior and can be used to protect sensitive circuits from 110V up to 350V overvoltages. It is found that the higher the content...

Non-destructive testing methods are used to detecting defects in materials and evaluation of materials properties without causing changes to their usable properties. They are applied in industry to provide the assurance of high quality for semi-manufactured products, final products, devices and materials. Except of many civilian applications they are widely used in rocket and aviation industry ...
متن کاملMicrovaristors in thick-film and LTCC circuits
ZnO-based varistors protect electronic circuits against overvoltage. High temperature from the range of 1150–1300 C is required for proper sintering of such material. Varistor inks with lower firing temperature are needed for application in thick-film and LTCC technology. ZnO-based thick-film composition was prepared and varistors were fabricated on alumina and LTCC substrate. Different topolog...
