Application of Surge Arresters to Protect Capacitor Banks
In cases where distributed generation sites require reactive power and voltage support, capacitor banks are the most cost-effective solution. However, switching of capacitor banks can introduce voltage disturbances at the connection point due to the possibility of high magnitude inrush currents. Read More >
Defining Seismic Performance Requirements for HV Substation Surge Arresters
Substation arresters play a vital role protecting electrical equipment from surge-induced overvoltages in both seismically active and non-seismic zones. However, they are not essential to the immediate restoration of power after an earthquake. Read More >
