The value for a ZnO varistor is 15 and k₁=9.3 x 10-38, the potential difference and current being
measured in volts and amps respectively. Calculate the p.d. across the varistor for currents of 0.1, 1, 10,
100 and 1000 A. If a device needs protection against transient voltages in excess of 300 V, show how a
varistor having the characteristic defined above can be connected to afford protection.
