DEFINITION:
Lightning Arrester/ Surge Arrester: A protective device for limiting surge voltages by discharging or bypassing surge current, and it also prevents the flow of follow current while remaining capable of repeating these functions.
Gapless metal-oxide type:
4 classifications:
i. Station class: best: overall protective durability quality
ii. Intermediate class
iii. Distribution class (heavy, normal, light duty)
iv. Secondary class (for voltages 999V or less)
The housing/enclosure construction of surge arresters can be of either polymer or porcelain.
How to Select a Lightning Arrester?
The primary objective in arrester application is to select the lowest rated surge arrester that will provide adequate protection of the equipment insulation and be rated such that it will have a satisfactory service life when connected to the power system. An arrester of the minimum practical rating is preferred because it provides the highest margin of protection for the equipment insulation system. Higher arrester ratings will increase the capability of the arrester to survive on specific power system but reduce the margin of protection provided for the insulation level of the equipment that it is protecting.
