Surge Arresters
The design and operation of surge arresters have advanced from valve- or spark gap-type silicon carbide (SiC) surge arresters to gapless metal oxide (MO) or zinc oxide (ZnO) surge arresters. A metal oxide surge arrester is composed of many microscopic junctions of metal oxide grains that turn on and off in microseconds to create a current path from the top terminal

What is valve type arrester?
A valve-type lightning arrester, also known as a gap surge diverter or silicon carbide surge diverter, is a type of lightning arrester that consists of one or multiple gaps connected in series with a current-controlling element.
What is the voltage range of a valve type lightning arrester?
The standard peak discharge current for its operation is 2.5 kA and 1.5 kA. While its voltage range is up to 3.3 kV (RMS). Valve type lightning arrester is an improved and expensive lightning arrester which is also called as a nonlinear surge diverter.
Can a surge arrester protect a capacitor?
Generally speaking, capacitor protection by surge arresters has been a difficult task before Z n O arresters became available. The high discharge currents and possible energies associated with an arrester operation at a capacitor bank heavily stressed the spark gaps in a S i C gapped arrester.
How does a valve arrester work?
At a normal system voltage, the valve arrester works like an insulator i.e., it does not cause the breakdown of air gap assembly. During overvoltage conditions, the series spark gap breakdown. And the nonlinear resistors offer a low resistance due to a high surge current. As a result, the surge goes to earth instead of the line.
How does a valve type lightning arrester work?
In order to illustrate the application of valve type lightning arrester, the successive stages of operation may be indicated, as illustrated in Fig. 9.30. As the surge approaches the transformer, it meets the lightning arrester and in approximately 0.25 µs, the voltage attains the breakdown value of the series gap and the arrester discharges.
Do capacitor banks need surge arresters?
Many capacitor banks are operated without surge arresters. However, there are a variety of reasons to instal arresters: To prevent capacitor failures at a breaker restrike or failure. To limit the risk of repeated breaker restrikes. To prolong the service life of the capacitors by limiting high overvoltages.
