INTRODUCTION


Zinc oxide varistors are voltage dependent resistors which exhibits nonlinear current-voltage characteristics. The non ohmic property, current handling capability, transient energy absorption capability, response time and high nonlinear coefficient make it more suitable for voltage surge suppression. Varistors are produced by advance ceramics technology. Different kinds of techniques for its production are available elsewhere (Lagrange, 1991; Harris, 1999).
