Abstract

The prospective purchaser of lightning arresters, when considering arrester performance data, must continually bear in mind the characteristics of the system for which the arresters are intended. System characteristics differ widely, but each system has its own "pattern" of insulation levels and probabilities of lightning, switching surges and power frequency overvoltages.
The purpose of this article is to show that the results of the individual and apparently unrelated tests specified by typical National Standards for lightning arresters may be grouped to present information on a particular lightning arrester in the form of three characteristic "pattern" curves.
