Surge Discharge Capability and Thermal Stability of a Metal Oxide Surge Arrester

Thermal balance diagram modelling of surge arrester for thermal stability analysis considering ZnO varistor degradation effect

“…This condition leads to low power production in elements. This electrical power loss is important for evaluation of the arrester performance for non‐adiabatic conditions [5]. In order to analyse the thermal balance of ZnO MOSAs, first the power loss model should be obtained.…”
