Analytical Method for Performance Prediction of Metal Oxide Surge Arresters

This paper presents a method of predicting the operation and performance of metal oxide arresters in power system applications. The method deals with the low current V-I characteristics of the arrester for non-adiabatic thermal behaviour and with the high current V-I characteristics for response to surges and system disturbances.
