    Surge arresters are electrical devices used in power systems to protect electrical equipment from high voltages during switching and abnormal conditions. They are classified based on their application and location in the power system, including station class, intermediate class, and distribution class arresters. Proper maintenance of surge arresters includes leakage current measurement, insulating resistance measurement, and visual inspection.

    Surge Arrester

    Is an electrical device
    utilized in power systems
    to protect electrical
    equipment against
    damaging effects of high
    voltages during switching
    and abnormal conditions.
    Arresters are tested to
    withstand 40 KA short-
    circuit current.
    Surge Counter
    Surge Counter checks if particular
    transmission line suffers from a
    significant high numbers of overvoltage
    leading to operation of the surge
    arrester.
    Classifications
    1. Station Class Arresters
    2. Intermediate Class Arresters
    3. Distribution Class
    Arresters (heavy, normal, and
    light duty)
    Classifications
    Station Class Arresters
    are designed for protection of equipment that may
    be exposed to significant energy due to line
    switching surges and at locations where
    significant fault current is available.
    Classifications
    Intermediate Class Arresters
    are designed to provide economic and
    reliable protection of medium voltage class
    power equipment. Used for the protection
    of dry-type transformers, for use in
    switching and sectionalizing equipment.
    Classifications
    Distribution Class Arresters
    (heavy, normal, and light
    duty)
    are frequently used for smaller liquid-filled and dry-type
    transformers 1000 kVA and less. The distribution arrester is
    often used out on exposed lines that are directly connected to
    rotating machines.
    Surge Arrester Applications:
    1. Areas with high lightning intensity
    2. Important installations
    3. Where grounding or shielding
    conditions are incomplete
    4. Protections of cable circuits
    5. Protection of capacitor banks
