The microstructure, electrical properties, and clamping voltage characteristics of $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}-CoO-Cr_2O_3-Y_2O_3(ZPCCY)-based$ varistor ceramics sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ were investigated as a function of sintering time from 1 to 3 h. With increasing sintering time, the average grain size and density increased in the range of $11.4\~16.0\;{\mu}m$ and $5.34\~5.54g/cm^3$, respectively, in accordance of increasing sintering time. The nonlinear exponent decreased in the range of $60\~26$ and the leakage current increased in the range of $1.3\~10.7\;{\mu}A$ with increasing sintering time. The clamping voltage ratio increased in the range $1.58\~1.65$ for ratio surge current of 10 A as the sintering time increased.

The electrical and dielectric characteristics of ZPCCY-based varistor ceramics were investigated in the sintering time range of 1∼3 h. Increasing sintering time deteriorated the nonlinearity, in which nonlinear exponent is decreased from 51.2 to 23.8 and leakage current is increased from 1.3 to 5.6 $\mu$A. As sintering time increases, the donor concentration was decreased in the range of (1.25∼l.73)$\times$10$\^$18/cm$\^$-3/ and the density of interface states is (3.64∼94.19)$\times$10$\^$12/cm$\^$-2/ with increasing sintering time. The increase in sintering time caused tan $\delta$ to increase in the range of 0.043 to 0.062 and relaxation time to increase in the range of 1.55 to 2.23 ㎲.

The electrical stability against surge stress of ZPCCY-based varistors were investigated at different sintering times. Sintering time decreased the varistor voltage and nonlinear exponent from 279.6 to 179.1 and from 52.5 to 24.9, respectively. On the contrary, the leakage current and dielectric dissipation factor increased from 1.2 to 9.8 ${\mu}A$ and from 0.0461 to 0.0651 with increase of sintering time. For all varistors, the variation rates of V-I characteristic parameters against surge stress were affected in order of varistor voltage$\rightarrow$nonlnear exponent$\rightarrow$leakage current. On the whole, the electrical stability against surge stress increased with increasing sintering time. Conclusively, it is assumed that the varistor sintered for 2 h exhibited comparatively good characteristics, in view of overall characteristics.

The electrical properties and stability of ZPCCY-based varistors composing of $ZnO-Pr_{6}O_{11}-CoO-Cr_{2}O_{3}-Y_{2}O_{3}$ ceramics were investigated with sintering time. As sintering time is increased, the nonlinear exponent decreased in the range of 51.19~26.70. Among varistors having above 30 in nonlinear exponent, for the varistor sintered for 1h, the nonlinearity was superior to the stability comparatively and, in the case of 2h, the stability was superior to the nonlinearity relatively. Consequently, it is estimated that the varistors sintered for 1~2h will be applied to various fields by trade-off between nonlinearity and stability.

The microstructure, electrical, and clamping voltage characteristics of ZPCCY-based varistor ceramics were investigated in the sintering time range of 1${\sim}$3 h. Increasing sintering time promoted the densification, in which the average grain size and density are increased in the range of $11.4{\sim}16.0{\mu}m$ and $5.34{\sim}5.54g/cm^3$, respectively. The nonlinear exponent decresed in the range of 60${\sim}$26 and the leakage current increased in the range of $1.3{\sim}10.7{\mu}A$ with increase of sintering time. The clamping voltage ratio was less than 2 for ratio surge current of 10 A over sintering times.

ZnO-P $r_{6}$ $O_{11}$-CoO-C $r_2$ $O_3$- $Y_2$ $O_3$계 세라믹스로 구성된 ZPCCY계 바리스터의 소결시간별 DC 가속열화 스트레스에 대한 전기적 안정성을 조사하였다. 소결시간은 전기적 특성 및 안정성에 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 소결시간이 증가함에 따라 비직선 지수는 51.2∼23.8의 범위로 감소하였으며, 누설전류는 1.3∼5.6 $\mu$A의 범위로 증가하였다. 1시간 소결된 바리스터는 비직선성은 우수하나 밀도가 낮은 관계로 안정성이 상대적으로 낮았으며, 3시간 소결된 바리스터는 안정성은 양호하나 비직선성이 다소 낮은 것으로 나타났다 2시간 소결된 바리스터는 비직선 지수가 38.6, 누설전류가 3.6 $\mu$A로 양호 하고, DC스트레스_0.95 $V_{1㎃}$15$0^{\circ}C$/12h에서 바리스터 전압, 비직선 지수, 누설전류, 손실계수 변화율이 각각 -0.8%, -1.8%, +74.4%, +0.9%를 나타냄으로서 안정성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.다.

The electrical characteristics of $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}-CoO-Cr_2O_3-Y_2O_3$(ZPCCY)-based varistors were investigated with $Y_2O_3$ content in the range of 0.0~4.0 mol%. As $Y_2O_3$ content is increased, the average grain size was markedly decreased in the range of 18.6~3.2 $\mu m$ and the density of the ceramic was decreased in the range of 5.53 ~3.74 $g/\textrm{cm}^3$. While, the varistor voltage was increased in the range of 39.4~748.1 V/mm and the nonlinear exponent was in the range of 4.5~51.2 with increasing $Y_2O_3$ content. The addition of $Y_2O_3$ greatly enhanced the nonlinear properties of varistors, compared with the varistor without $Y_2O_3$. In particular, the varistors with $Y_2O_3$content of 0.5 mol% exhibited the highest nonlinearity, in which the nonlinear exponent is 51.2 and the leakage current is 1.3 $\mu A$. The donor concentration and the density of interface states were decreased in the range of (4.19~0.14) $\times$10$^{18}$ /㎤ and (5.38~1.15)${\times}10^{18}/\textrm{cm}^3$, respectively, with increasing $Y_2O_3$ content.

The microstructure, V-Ι characteristics, and stability of ZnO-P $r_{6}$ $O_{11}$ CoO-C $r_2$ $O_3$- $Y_2$ $O_3$-based varistor ceramics were investigated with cooling rate in the range of 2~8$^{\circ}C$/min. The cooling rate relatively weakly affected the microstructure, the varistor voltage, and the leakage current in the V-Ι characteristics. But the nonlinear exponent relatively strongly affected by cooling rate. The cooling rate also greatly affected the stability of V-Ιand dielectric characteristics for DC accelerated aging stress. On the whole, the varistors cooled with 4$^{\circ}C$/fin exhibited the highest performance in the densification, nonlinearity, and stability. Especially, they exhibited a high stability, in which the variation rate of the varistor voltage( $V_{1㎃}$), the nonlinear exponent($\alpha$), and the dissipation factor(tan $\delta$) is -1.4%, -4.9%, and ＋60.0%, respectively, under DC accelerated aging stress such as 0.95 $V_{1㎃}$15$0^{\circ}C$/12 h)
