Abstract

Abstract: ZnO varistor is the key element in Medal Oxide Arrestors(MOA) of power systems. The moisture level is an important factor for the property of ZnO varistor. The properties of ZnO varistor under moisture condition are studied by use of damp heat box and multi-pulse platform. The results show that the speed of the varistor voltage（U1mA） exceeding ±10% in the damping scenario is three times faster than that in dry condition. 30% of the samples become failed after one multi-pulse shot. In dry scenario，the plateau of the U1mA and the IL becomes short and the aging speed accelerates. Through analysis of the physicochemical properties, it is found that after the varistor damped, the water molecules come into the inter-granular layer and set off a chemical reaction, which makes a deformed double Schottky barrier structure. Under multi-pulse shots, the thermal conductivity of ZnO varistor’s internal grains drops sharply, and some inter-granular layers with the poor thermal conductivity firstly change from thermal equilibrium into imbalance, resulting in the change of the quantity of electric charge in grain-boundary area and the metamorphosis of the voltage characteristics.
