On Nov. 26th, Dr. Xuan Wu, chair of IEEE PES Columbus Chapter gave a seminar about station surge arrester applications to about 20 attendees at Gahanna, OH. The attendees learned surge arrester principles, lightning & switching surges, and considerations of separation distance and temporary overvoltage for arrester placements and sizing.
Title: Impacts of Station Urge Arrester Separation Distance & Temporary Overvoltage
Abstract: Surge arresters are important devices that protect major equipment from insulation failures due to lightning or switching surges. How to appropriately apply station surge arresters in order to make them perform the best surge protection functionality is the main purpose of this session. This session will cover the station surge arrester functions, characteristics, types and application considerations with emphasis of temporary overvoltage and separation distance.
