Nowadays, protection of any sensitive electric equipment against any type of
overvoltage (including lightning applied on power networks) is a big challenge for the
power electronics domain. The most advanced and reliable devices used in order to
perform this operation are metal oxide varistor based surge-arresters. These
polycrystalline ceramic varistors are made of a mixture of different metal oxides, where
the main ingredient (more than 80-90% as mass concentration) is the ZnO. The real
improvements of these devices could be performed only in reference with their
manufacturing process, by introducing different additives, with particular influences on
the electrical behavior of the semi-conductor material, especially on their non-linear
relation between voltage applied and current response and on their heat absorption
capability. There is no physical or analytical model in order to assess the influence of
dopants (additives) on the main electrical characteristics. This is an empirical process
which will lead to the development of new semiconductor materials. This article will
explain the influence of the sintering temperature on the electrical properties of two
varsitor materials, with different additives
