CROSS CUTS ZINC WAFER

Zinc oxide wafers are not the latest diet craze, unless you happen to have a yen for low-voltage current. But General Electric is pressing the compo und into a cookie-shaped form to prevent electrical utility line surges from destroying delicate electronic equipment.

The company claims its new line of low-voltage zinc oxide arresters extends the threshold of protection as much as 70% lower than earlier devices. Among the improvements:

* enhancement of the formulation of the zinc oxide compound that forms the core of the units; and

* development of a technique to produce geometrically true zinc oxide wafers.
