Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain voltage nonlinear resistor of zinc oxide excellent in voltage nonlinearity and high in voltage stability by loading a raw material consisting mainly of zinc oxide over a range of 0.005-0.1mol% of NiO in addition to an oxide such as praseodymium and by sintering the mixture. CONSTITUTION:This resistor is formed by sintering a raw material mixed with an oxide of a metal containing at least praseodymium as the subconstituent with the main constituent of zinc oxide, and the raw material is loaded with a range of 0.005-0.1mol% of nickel monoxide (NiO). Ni loaded in the form of oxide over this range subtly penetrates into and oozes out the zinc oxide phase in the sintering and cooling steps to form solid solution in the vicinity of grain boundaries with no deposits in the grain boundaries. This process can provide nonlinear resistors of zinc oxide high in voltage stability and excellent in voltage nonlinearity.
