[Function] In the above structure, the voltage nonlinear resistor in which the concentration ratio of bismuth and sodium as additives in terms of Bi2O3 and Na2O, respectively, is within a predetermined range, can maintain the limiting voltage ratio without heat treatment. It has been found that both the varistor voltage change rate after lightning surge application is small, and that both limiting voltage characteristics and durability can be satisfied at the same time. That is, in the voltage nonlinear resistor, their concentration ratio is [Na2O]/[Bi2O3]=0.002
If it is within the range of 5 to 0.30, the desired effects of the present invention can be obtained, as is clear from the examples described later.

[0007] Here, sodium is Bi2O3 at the grain boundary.
It exists in the phase and has the effect of suppressing the rate of change in varistor voltage. If the amount of sodium added is small, the effect of suppressing the varistor voltage change rate will not be sufficiently exerted. When a large amount of sodium is added, the sodium present in the grain boundaries reduces the rate of change in varistor voltage, and the excess sodium in the Bi2O3 grain boundary phase enters the zinc oxide grains.
By controlling the valence, it becomes an acceptor and compensates for the donor, increasing the limiting voltage ratio. In order to obtain the desired effect, in any case, it is necessary to maintain the concentration ratio of sodium and bismuth within the range of the present invention, and as long as the ratio is maintained, the amount of each added can be changed. It is also possible to obtain the desired voltage nonlinear resistor.
