Synopsis
Understanding how lightning arresters work and why they matter on power lines. This book explains the evolution of arresters, from simple air gaps to advanced, interrupting designs, and shows how they protect energized equipment from surges. The text surveys historical designs, key experiments, and practical testing methods. It explains the goals of arresters, the role of spark gaps, and why rapid restoration after a surge is important. Readers will see how engineers evaluate performance and compare different maker’s approaches.
- Clear explanations of early and modern lightning arrester types and how they protect equipment.
- Descriptions of testing schemes, measurement challenges, and how results are interpreted.
- Discussion of practical considerations for selecting and applying arresters in installations.
- Historical context showing how testing practices evolved with new technologies.
