Summary
s
n Arresters must present a high impedance for steady state voltages and modest levels of
TOV.
en
n Arresters must discharge significant current and absorb energy during lightning and
switching surges.
n Arresters protect insulation by limiting the surge voltage below the insulation failure
level. em
n Metal oxide varistors (MOV) and silicon carbide (SiC) gapped arresters have been
installed.
n MOVs are used for new applications or replacements.
