Abstract Zinc oxide varistors have been widely used in lightning protection of power systems due to their energy tolerance. This work studied the effect of SiO2 addition on the current performance of ZnO varistors. The effects of SiO2 content on the phase transition, microstructure and electrical properties of ZnO varistors were studied. Among these components, SiO2 affects ZnO grain growth. When the SiO2 content increases from 0.2mol% to 2.0mol%, the grain size of ZnO decreases from 8.87 μm to 5.86 μm, resulting in a breakdown voltage E1mA range from 192.77 V/mm to 252.57 V/mm. On the other hand, SiO2 has a significant effect on current energy withstanding capability and pulse aging characteristics. The results show that the content of SiO2 is 1.5mol%, and its current performance is the best. It has an energy capacity of 332.03 J/cm3 and a residual voltage ratio of 1.71 at a current of 5 kA.
