Abstract
Lightning arrester sparkover, caused by a switching surge, is considered. Under some circumstances large arrester currents flow and impose heavy duty upon the arrester characteristic elements and the series gap. Therefore, it is necessary to study previous relationships between the follow current and the circuit conditions and to test the current interruption ability of the arrester under various conditions.Keywords
