Non-linear field grading materials (FGMs) based on zinc oxide (ZnO) microvaristors have been proposed to control the electric stress and prevent premature aging and degradation of high-voltage insulators near the end fittings. The current work reports on the effectiveness of using a laboratory fabri...
