Understanding Surge Arresters in Power Systems
Surge arresters play a pivotal role in protecting electrical equipment from voltage spikes. These devices, designed to limit transient voltages by diverting surge currents to the ground, are essential for maintaining the reliability and longevity of power systems. Types of Surge Arresters Silicon Carbide (SiC) Arresters: Once the standard, SiC arresters use nonlinear resistors made …
