  • Abstract
    In this study, nano-varistor was fabricated with ZnO nano-powder in order to improve local overheating for Bi-based varistors. It was compared with thermal distribution characteristics of conventional varistors fabricated with ZnO micro-powder. Nano-varistor exhibited higher density than micro-varistor and low porosity. Also, nano-varistor has had minute uniform grains and few pores as compared with micro-varistor in the microstructure. Varistors took thermal images for pyrexia temperature distribution after operating varistors, respectively. ZnO nano-varistor doesn´t have exhibited local overheating and confirmed the accurate temperature gradient on the surface.
