Zinc oxide arrester ke mofuta o mocha oa ho ts'oara o entsoeng lilemong tsa bo-1970, oo haholo-holo o entsoeng ka zinc oxide varistor.E 'ngoe le e' ngoe ea varistor e na le matla a eona a ho fetoha (e bitsoang varistor voltage) ha e etsoa.Tlas'a motlakase o tloaelehileng oa ho sebetsa (ke hore, o ka tlase ho motlakase oa varistor), boleng ba varistor bo boholo haholo, bo lekanang le boemo ba insulating, empa ka motlakase o tloaelehileng oa ho sebetsa (ke hore, o ka tlaase ho varistor voltage) Tlas'a ketso ea impulse voltage (e kholo ho feta varistor voltage), varistor e robehile ka theko e tlaase, e lekanang le boemo bo khutšoanyane ba potoloho.Leha ho le joalo, ka mor'a hore varistor e otloe, boemo ba insulating bo ka tsosolosoa;ha mocheso o phahameng ho feta oa varistor o tlosoa, o khutlela boemong bo phahameng ba ho hanyetsa.Ka hona, haeba mochine oa zinc oxide o kenngoa mohala oa matla, ha ho otla lehalima ho etsahala, matla a phahameng a leqhubu la lehalima a etsa hore varistor e senyehe, 'me hona joale lehalima le phalla fatše ka har'a varistor, e ka laolang motlakase mothapong oa motlakase sebakeng se sireletsehileng.Ka hona ho sireletsa polokeho ea lisebelisoa tsa motlakase.
