EMP Surge Suppression Connectors Utilizing Metal Oxide Varistors.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA022292 | Need Help?

Abstract:

The report summarizes the experimental and developmental work performed in studying the application of a new class of varistor materials as terminal protection devices for use in electromagnetic pulse EMP hardening. These new varistor devices, which are comprised of various metal oxides, principally zinc oxide and bismuth oxide, are called metal oxide varistors. The conduction characteristics of the material are controlled by its bulk properties and geometry. It can be optimally formed, by molding or machining, and integrated directly into component assemblies.
