Several types of devices are employed in electronic systems to protect against voltage transients, power surges, and excessive voltage or current. Varistors is one of those devices that protect ...

Varistors are voltage dependent, nonlinear devices that behave electrically similar to back-to-back Zener diodes. The symmetrical, sharp breakdown characteristics shown here enable the varistor to ...

Zinc oxide varistor ceramics are polycrystalline materials engineered to exhibit a highly nonlinear current–voltage response, making them indispensable for overvoltage protection in power distribution ...
