Assessment of MOV Deterioration under Energized Conditions

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Metal oxide varistors (MOVs) are widely used to protect electrical and electronic devices that are very vulnerable to surges due to the low insulation level of the equipment. MOVs deteriorate gradually due to manufacturing defects, mechanical and thermal

On the Computation of the Voltage Distribution along the Non-Linear Resistor of Gapless Metal Oxide Surge Arresters

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
The voltage distribution along the non-linear resistance of metal oxide surges is of great importance for their proper operation, since the non-uniform potential distribution results in higher thermal stresses of the varistor discs near the high voltage ...

Case Study about the Energy Absorption Capacity of Metal Oxide Varistors with Thermal Coupling

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Metal oxide varistors are applied today inside modern surge arresters for overvoltage protection for all voltage levels. Their main issue is the thermal activation of their crossing current, which could lead to complete destruction by thermal runaway ...

Model Free Traveling Wave Based Fault Location Method for Series Compensated Transmission Line

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Locating fault position in a series compensated transmission line is a difficult task due to the non-linear characteristics of the metal-oxide varistor which is present in the protection system of the compensator. In this paper, a model-free two-terminal
