Abstract
In this paper, the results of the analysis of the influence of critical working conditions on stability of varistor characteristics are presented. Moreover, the paper offers both experimental and theoretical interpretation concerning the influence of temperature, operations’ time-number and the effect of neutron and gamma radiation on the stability of varistor characteristics. For the purpose of this paper an original measuring system of extremely low measurement uncertainty has been developed. Recording of volt-ampere, volt-ohm characteristics as well as varistor, breakdown voltage which was directly measured by a measuring system developed for that purpose, was carried out in the manner based on utilizing a single current pulse. Having analyzed the obtained results, it can be concluded that, when designing the insulation coordination at low or high voltage level, ambient environmental conditions (temperature variation) and functional aging in synergy with natural aging should be taken into account.
期刊介绍:
The scope of the publication includes, but is not limited to Reliability of: Devices, Materials, Processes, Interfaces, Integrated Microsystems (including MEMS & Sensors), Transistors, Technology (CMOS, BiCMOS, etc.), Integrated Circuits (IC, SSI, MSI, LSI, ULSI, ELSI, etc.), Thin Film Transistor Applications. The measurement and understanding of the reliability of such entities at each phase, from the concept stage through research and development and into manufacturing scale-up, provides the overall database on the reliability of the devices, materials, processes, package and other necessities for the successful introduction of a product to market. This reliability database is the foundation for a quality product, which meets customer expectation. A product so developed has high reliability. High quality will be achieved because product weaknesses will have been found (root cause analysis) and designed out of the final product. This process of ever increasing reliability and quality will result in a superior product. In the end, reliability and quality are not one thing; but in a sense everything, which can be or has to be done to guarantee that the product successfully performs in the field under customer conditions. Our goal is to capture these advances. An additional objective is to focus cross fertilized communication in the state of the art of reliability of electronic materials and devices and provide fundamental understanding of basic phenomena that affect reliability. In addition, the publication is a forum for interdisciplinary studies on reliability. An overall goal is to provide leading edge/state of the art information, which is critically relevant to the creation of reliable products.
