Extension of the mobile communication and the rapidly developing services connected with wireless multimedia(W-CDMA, DMB, Wibro, and so on) need great many base station transceiver systems, antennas, and many signal transmission line to embody these services. The min communication appliances system is exposed always in danger of transient overvoltage by direct stroke or induced lightning surge flowing in through antenna because the antenna of base station transceiver system or relay equipment is combined with expensive communication network equipments through signal transmission line. Now, gas discharge tube(GDT) or narrow band stub arrestor which is used by the surge protector for communication use is exposing limitations as for lightning surge protective means of the communication facility with high speed and wide frequency band. Therefore, for improving performance of surge arrestor, we applied ceramic filter which can reduce lightning surge invading from antenna effectively, and proved that ceramic filter is effective in residual voltage reduction through the experimental research.

This paper describes the measurement result of leakage current flowing arrestors connected in catenary line to propose an optimal management methods. 27 arrestors set in 7 locations were tested. The leakage currents are included a harmonics of electric train during the operation of electric train in feeding section and in case of feeding earthing system.

This Paper describes the influence of additive concentrations and sintering temperature on the surge protection performance in ZnO ceramic varistors. It is found from the experiments that the metal-oxide semiconductors based oi ZnO with an additive incorporation of 0.50% molx(Bi$\_$2/O$\_$3/+MnO+CoO+Cr$\_$2/O$\_$3/+2Sb$\_$2/O$\_$3/) and sintered at 1250.deg. C present excellent V-I characteristics in view of transient surge suppression. Gapless arrester element with aluminum electrodes shows also good reliability against impulse shock and marks a low voltage clamping ratio(V$\_$1KA/V$\_$1mA/<2.0) compared with the conventional SiC varistors.

Precision electronic equipments for outdoor use are composed of sophisticated microcircuits that are extremely vulnerable to lightning-caused voltage spike. This transient voltage spike may cause upset, latent failure or Interference on electronic equipments. In order to develop efficient lightning protection measures on AC power lines of a road traffic controller as a electronic equipment for outdoor use, experimental surge immunity tests were conducted according to IEC standard 801-5. The combination of gas tube arrester and metal-oxide varistor was installed at the input of AC power lines and the silicon avalanche suppressor installed at the output of DC power supply for the lightning protection measures.

This paper deals with n rise in electric potential of telecommunication line for electric power system by lightning surges. When $1.2/50{\mu}s$ and $8/20{\mu}s$ impulse voltage and current were applied on telecommunication cable, the voltage waveforms at the end terminal and equipment were measured. The telecommunication lines, which consist of 60 conductors and 3.5km in length, have some surge protectors such as preposition lightning arrester and TVSS. In each case, the rise in electric potential was measured for differential mode and common mode, respectively. Also, the rise in ground potential and the induced voltages were measured and analyzed. As a result, a significant rise in ground potential was observed for lightning surge. It can cause failure or malfunction of telecommunication systems.

This paper examines the insulation coordination scheme of line and equipment in distribution system when the direct lightning surge strikes. The BIL that is applied in distribution system is not properly considered the performance and operation of arresters. Because of that, the high BIL is being used at partial system. This paper variously analyse the lightning overvoltage of line and equipment with earth of overhead grounding wire and installation types of arrester. Form these result, authors examine the rationality of BIL.

In this study we developed accelerated aging test cycle and equipment which can simulate domestic weather condition. And we proposed long term reliability assessment method for polymer housed distribution surge arresters. We carried out electrical and chemical analysis of the arresters which are used for accelerated aging test and outdoor exposure test. Through the analysis we verified the capability of the proposed method and we presented characteristic data for maintenance of domestic arresters.

In this study, a ubiquitous sensor for condition monitoring of insulators and lightning arresters installed in power distribution lines and electric traction vehicles is presented. The sensor consists of two parts; a leakage current measurement and a lightning surge detection. Measured data are transmitted to a supervisory computer through ZigBee protocol based on IEEE 802.15.4. To detect leakage current, a window type Mn-ZCT is used and a low-noise amplifier with a gain of 60dB is designed, and this can measure leakage current in ranges of $100{\mu}A{\sim}5mA$. A sample-hold (S/H) and a Rogowski coil are injected to analyze the magnitude of surge current in ranges from 100A to 10kA with $8/20{\mu}s$-waveform.

The effects of surge arresters for protection of transmission systems against direct lightning strokes have already been investigated using the digital simulation program EMTP. Distribution lines are spanned on a much large area as compared to transmission lines, and therefore, are more often susceptible to lightning strokes. This paper analyzes the overvoltages on underground cable system against direct lightning strokes to the overhead ground wire using the digital simulation. The effects of lightning protection methods, such as lowering the grounding resistance and installing the surge arrester, for preventing overvoltages on underground cable system caused by direct lightning strokes to the overhead ground wire is investigated. Several schemes have been proposed to protect underground cables. This paper summarizes the main results of a study aimed at analysis of lightning overvoltages in variety underground feeders protected by metal-oxide arresters. This study will provide insulation coordination methods for reasonable system design in 22.9kV underground cable system.
