Leakage Current and Monitoring of GIS Lightning Arresters

In an earlier blog, we discussed the techniques and methodologies for health assessment of lightning/surge arresters.  We also shared our knowledge on the various methods of measuring resistive leakage current or power loss. In the following blog, we answered the 10 most frequently asked questions on the various aspects of testing and measuring lightning/surge arresters. …

Techniques & Methodologies For Health Assessment Of Lightning / Surge Arresters

Lightning / Surge Arresters are specialised devices that protect electrical installations and equipment from unpredictable electrical surges caused by internal events like electrical faults, switching, short circuits, etc. and external events like lightning impulses, lightning strokes, etc. Over the last few decades, Lightning / Surge Arresters have evolved from using Silicon Carbide to Zinc Oxide …
