This article proposes a new method for the optimal design of zinc oxide arresters based on electric field distribution column using smart algorithms and finite element analysis. prevents premature aging tablets, especially initial final tablets column, which have higher voltage gradient than other parts arrester, subsequently increases sustainability network. The spacer height, fiberglass layer...

The vulnerability of the UHV porcelain arrester is very high under strong earthquake. To rise seismic reliability of the UHV porcelain arrester, a new type lead damper, which is a new patent product, is installed at the bottom of the equipment. To investigate the damping effect of the dampers, the experimental research and finite element analysis on seismic behavior of the UHV porcelain arreste...

Leakage current measurements can be used to determine the aging condition of ZnO arrester. The leakage that occurs in arrester is divided into two, namely external and internal currents. affected by contamination varistor currents are measured separately their contribution condition. In this study, effect salt on was studied further. level consisted low, medium heavy. obtained analyzed using wa...

A fast current pulse causes a material to heat and undergo rapid expansion. We calculate the response of a cylindrically shaped material to a pulse on the microsecond time scale. The first step is to obtain the breathing modes of elastic oscillation of the cylinder. These modes are calculated using a Rayleigh–Ritz variational method introduced by Demarest for cubes. The boundary conditions are ...

The safety and reliability of electric traction vehicles are seriously endangered by external lightning strokes and internal switching surges which result from the operation of circuit breakers or the moving contact between the pantograph and the overhead catenary wire. Overvoltages in electric traction vehicles are much higher than the rated voltages of railway system, causing server damage to...

The paper presents a comparison of the performance of voltage-switching devices and voltage-limiting devices for late seventies-vintage SPDs as marketed and installed in service panels in the USA and in Europe. Artifacts in the response of a typical oscilloscope to a nearby gap sparkover, and the effect of lead dress inside the panels and outdoor installation are described. Predictably, the per...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a widely used commercial material that is finding use in wound healing applications due to its antimicrobial properties. Our study demonstrates a novel approach for coating ZnO with precise thickness control onto 20 nm and 100 nm pore diameter anodized aluminum oxide using atomic layer deposition (ALD). ZnO was deposited throughout the nanoporous structure of the anodized al...

Accurate modeling and parameters identification of Metal Oxide Surge Arrester (MOSA) are very important for arrester allocation, systems reliability and insulation coordination studies. Several models with acceptable accuracy have been proposed to describe this behavior. It should be mentioned that the estimation of nonlinear elements of MOSAs is very important for all models. In this paper, a ...

Noise has been used as a diagnostic tool of surge arrester varistor structures comprising of ZnO grains of various type and size. The physical and electrical properties of the measured samples have been described. In the experimental study, the applied measurement system and the results of noise measurements for the selected structures of varistors designed for the continuous working voltage 28...
