The Power Interruption Testing of Lightning Arresters

Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1951
A special surge circuit has been developed for use in power interruption testing of lightning arresters. This circuit consists of a power source, a surge circuit, and an impulse timing circuit.

Development and applications of lightning arresters for transmission lines

IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 1989
A 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, 1920
This 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.

Distribution lightning arrester performance data

Electrical Engineering, 1937
THE intelligent application of lightning arresters requires a knowledge of their performance characteristics under conditions which are likely to be encountered in service. Data have been presented relating to the impulse characteristics of insulation both as used on lines and in transformers.

Lightning Protection of Equipment with Remotely Mounted Lightning Arresters

Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Part III: Power Apparatus and Systems, 1958
1. 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, 1923
K. 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, 1951
A 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, 1930
A 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 ...
