Abstract
The Cu2O addition deteriorates the electrical properties of ZnO varistors, which is a good agreement with similar findings on Ag2O additions. The best fitted impedance analysis reveals that the Cu2O addition increases grain resistance and lowers the grain boundary resistance, results in low nonlinearity and higher leakage current of ZnO varistors.
