Abstract

The microstructure and electrical properties of $Pr_6O_{11}$-based ZnO varistors consisting of Zn-Pr-Co-Cr-Tb oxides were investigated with $Tb_4O_7$ content in the range of 0.25~1.0 mol%. The varistor ceramics exhibited very high densification in the range of 5.74~5.83g/$cm^3$ with increasing $Tb_4O_7$ content. Furthermore, the incorporation of $Tb_4O_7$ in varistor ceramics $Tb_4O_7$greatly increased All of the characteristic parameters. As a result, It was found that $Tb_4O_7$-added varistors are good for high voltage field.
