Zener diode is a diode which is used in its break down region. The diode is kept reverse biased in a circuit, and so it does not allow current to pass until the voltage is greater than the breakdown voltage of the zener.
Varistor Tutorial. The varistor is a passive two-terminal solid state semiconductor device that is used to provide protection to electrical and electronic circuits. Unlike the fuse or circuit breaker which offers over-current protection, the varistor provides over-voltage protection by means of voltage-clamping in a similar way to the zener diode.
