Abstract

This paper provides the results of analysis of lightening arrester failed in the field. XRD was used for qualitative analysis and SEM for microstructure analysis of zinc oxide (ZnO) block. The failure of lightening arrester might occur due to the following reasons: the uneven size of zinc oxide grains and cement layers. the re-crystallization of zinc oxide grains resulting from electrical stress around impurities, and the presence of too large pores($\simeq$ 50 ${\mu}m$).
