摘要：
Varistors for use in station-class surge arresters were tested to destruction to determine their energy absorption capability at current levels ranging from 0.8 A(peak) to 35 kA(peak). Typical mean values increased from 400-600 J/cm(3) at the lower current end to 1,600-2,000 J/cm(3) at 35 kA(peak). The product of the mean time-to-failure and the mean current was found to be a constant over five orders of magnitude. The varistor failure mode was found to be a characteristic of the current magnitude. It is recommended that standard test methods be developed for the energy absorption capability of metal-oxide surge arresters, and be included in relevant standards.
