A modelling approach to describe the DC current-voltage behaviour of low-voltage zinc oxide varistors

Zinc oxide varistors are among the most important surge arresters. The current-voltage (I–V) behaviour of these devices can be approximated by a model of electrical networks of grain boundaries arranged in 3D space, where nonlinear resistors mimic the effective grain boundary behaviour of the varist...
