Lightning arresters for distribution apparatus
Electrical Engineering, 1945THERE are today two general types of lightning arresters in use for the protection of distribution apparatus. They are the valve type covered by AIEE Standard 28, and the expulsion type, for which AIEE Standards are being formulated. Both have been used widely for many years. Typical specimens are illustrated in Figure 1.

The oxide film lightning arrester
Proceedings of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1918The oxide film arrester is a new type of lightning arrester made up of a film of insulation in contact with a conducting powder. Upon the application of over-voltage, the insulation will be pierced, but the powder will very rapidly turn into insulation and plug any holes punctured in the original insulation by the over-voltage, thus forming in ...

The international standardization of Lightning Arresters
Electrical Engineering, 1959It can be concluded that the IEC Recommendation and the ASA Standard for valve-type lightning arresters contain essentially the same provisions. The IEC Recommendation, however, specifies maximum arrester protective levels and differs in other minor respects from the ASA Standard.

Contamination Tests for Lightning Arresters
IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems, 1970Contamination deposits on arrester housings when wetted can cause external flashovers and, by disturbing the voltage distribution on the internal gaps, can lower the power frequency sparkover of the arresters. It has been found that the conditions that produce the lowest external flashover often do not cause the greatest reduction in sparkover ...

The corona as lightning arrester
Journal of the A.I.E.E., 1924Occasional suggestion has been made in recent years that the properties of the high-voltage corona might be utilized as a protection against lightning and other similar types of disturbance on transmission lines. The idea in these suggestions is that since the ionization attending corona renders the air conductint, the excess voltage following the ...

Lightning performance assessment with line arresters [PDF]
Proceedings of 1996 Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition, 2002 The paper describes the studies performed by a team of engineers from FURNAS and USP to determine the application conditions, the type and ratings of surge arresters to be installed on a few transmission lines operated by the first-named company in order to improve their performance for lightning strokes.

The Protection of Solid Insulation by Lightning Arresters
Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1941Introduction THE protection of distribution transformers or other apparatus against lightning involves the basic problem of limiting the voltage applied to the insulation to a value adequately below the insulation strength. The effect on insulation of chopped waves and full waves of standard impulse wave shapes such as 1.5×40 microseconds has been ...

A Proposed Lightning-Arrester Test
Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1907It is generally recognized that the worst disturbances to an electrical transmission system from lightning are due to the unbalancing of the circuit-elements after the passage to ground of the initial lightning charge.

1922 Developments in autovalve lightning arresters
Journal of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1923The work done in the past year in developing commercial forms of lightning arresters based on the ``autovalve'' principle is reported. Fundamental data given by Dr. Slepian at the 1922 Midwinter Convention are briefly reviewed. The balance of the paper deals with new material and covers further research, development and test.

New Principles in the Design of Lightning Arresters
Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1907The installation of lightning arresters is of the nature of an insurance. A certain percentage of the cost of the apparatus can reasonably be invested as a safeguard in protecting the apparatus. Furthermore, a percentage of the income can also be invested in protective apparatus as an insurance against interruption of service.
