The Voltage-Current (V-I) Characteristic of an arrester is one of its most important parameters. With a quick look at an arrester's (or disk's) characteristic curve one can tell the rating of the arrester, the protective level of the arrester, and indirectly how well it canwill do during a temporary overvoltage. This ArresterFacts explains all of this in detail.

To determine the real value of an arrester we cannot simply look at its cost, but rather we must look at the effect on a system in its absence.

Overview of transmission line arrester applications that can be used to improve power system’s performance

The primary objectives in protection of underground circuits is the cable insulation and transformer windings. In particular, at points in the underground circuit where the voltage is amplified by traveling wave reflections. This ArresterFact discusses the points of concern and the method of determining the required margin of protection.

The application of arresters is one of the most effective means of improving a system’s surge protection. However, for the arrester to be effective it is important that the proper arrester is applied correctly to maximum its protection value. Likewise, there are other method of protection that can be used to compliment the use of arresters. This article is a check list of items you should consider if improved system surge reliability is the goal.
