Surge protection guidelines for VacClad-W metal-clad …
Solidly grounded systems—Arrester MCOV rating should be equal to 1.05 x V. LL /(1.732 x T), where V. LL. is nominal line-to-line service voltage, 1.05 factor allows for +5% voltage variation above the nominal voltage according to ANSI C84.1, and T is derating factor to allow for operation at 55 °C switchgear ambient, which should
Practical Considerations in Surge Protection
One involved an undetected line fault on an ungrounded transformer winding that did not have a surge arrester rated for the line-to-line voltage. Another was on a circuit breaker for a large 230 kV capacitor bank, where one breaker pole remained stuck closed upon de-energization.

Capacitor protection by surge arresters
Generally speaking, capacitor protection by surge arresters has been a difficult task before Z n O arresters became available. The high discharge currents and possible energies associated with an arrester operation at a capacitor bank heavily stressed the spark gaps in a S i C gapped arrester. The possible high energies could also result in overstressed …
