Abstract
Abstract An oxide varistor is prepared from a basic composition formed of 70 to 14 mol% of at least one MeIO2, 29 to 85 mol% of ZnO and 1 to 20 mol% of Sb2O3, 1 to 20% by weight of Bi2O3, and 0.5 to 10% by weight of at least one MeII2O3 based on said basic composition, MeI being selected from Ti, Sn and Zr, and MeII being selected from Fe, Cr, Mn and Co.
