Development and applications of lightning arresters for transmission lines
IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 1989A lightning arrester with a series gap for transmission lines has been developed to prevent faults due to lightning. It has shown excellent performance since 1986 on 77 kV service lines in heavy lightning regions. A 275 kV lightning arrester has also been developed, and a field test was started on a service line in 1988.

Lightning Arrester Spark Gaps-II
Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1920This paper describes a new form of high-voltage lightning arrester gap which has been called the ``impulse protective gap'' because of its particular effectiveness in protecting against line disturbances of steep wave front. The paper opens with a brief resume of some of the results of previous investigations of the subject of impulse voltages.

Lightning Protection of Equipment with Remotely Mounted Lightning Arresters
Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Part III: Power Apparatus and Systems, 19581. The curves apply to any type of modern lightning arrester. Only the sparkover voltage has to be known; this should be obtained from the manufacturer. 2. When the arrester is between the equipment and the surge, the maximum voltage at the equipment approaches 200% of the arrester sparkover voltage.

Pellet type of oxide film lightning arrester
Journal of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1923K. B. McEachron: The pellet arrester represents an extension of the oxide film principle in an ingenious manner. The problem of making, commercially, small pellets of lead peroxide, and coating them with litharge has been solved in a satisfactory manner.

Long-duration surge testing of lightning arresters
Electrical Engineering, 1951A METHOD OF long-duration surge-withstand design testing of station-type lightning arresters is proposed for consideration by the industry. The test method involves successive applications of a surge having an essentially constant magnitude and a duration measured in thousands of microseconds.

Thyrite A New Material for Lightning Arresters
Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1930A new material has been developed which is peculiarly adapted for use in lightning arresters. It is physically similar to dry process porcelain and it can be made in any shape that can be successfully moulded. The manufacturing processes have been perfected so that the electrical and mechanical characteristics can be duplicated or varied as desired ...

Modern impulse generators for testing lightning arresters
Electrical Engineering, 19421. Thorough testing of lightning arresters requires a wide variety of impulse-current waves. 2. The strictly mathematical calculation of circuit constants to produce such waves is limited to the few cases where the circuit resistance is constant. 3. Valve-type lightning arresters have a resistance that is intentionally a function of voltage or current ...

Insulation levels governed by lightning arresters
Electrical Engineering, 1950INSULATION levels for transformers and circuit breakers for high voltages, to be economical, should be selected so that basic impulse insulation levels are as low as are feasible. Presently recognized basic insulation levels are too conservative for the grounded-neutral higher voltage systems. Available levels should be of such values that the user can
