Types of Surge Arresters
Published by Lorenzo Mari, EE Power – Technical Articles: Types of Surge Arresters, December 18, 2020. Learn about the most common types of surge arresters used to protect against transient overvoltages and lightning strikes. Surge arresters introduce shunting resistance to the ground when a surge appears, absorbing energy from the surge without the voltage becoming excessive.Continue reading “Types of Surge Arresters”
Substation Protection Against Transient Overvoltages and Lightning Strikes
Published by Lorenzo Mari, EE Power – Technical Articles: Substation Protection Against Transient Overvoltages and Lightning Strikes, December 11, 2020. Learn how surge arresters protect power substations against lightning and switching overvoltages. Transient overvoltages are typical of power systems. The sources of overvoltages are direct or nearby lightning strikes, switching operations, electromagnetic pulses, and electrostatic discharges.Continue reading “Substation Protection Against Transient Overvoltages and Lightning Strikes”
