Powerline worker performs maintenance of a lightning arrester on an electrical transmission tower in New Brunswick, Canada. A lightning arrester (alternative spelling lightning arrestor) (also called lightning isolator) is a device, essentially an air gap between an electric wire and ground, used on electric power transmission and telecommunication systems to protect the insulation and
These surge capacitors are used to limit the surge wave shape to prevent damage of insulation of MV motors, generators and transformers. The best protection solution is to use surge arresters together with the surge capacitors. Then both wave shape and magnitude are limited. Installation and maintenance Surge capacitors are connected to ground
In circuits having low surge impedance involving cables or shunt capacitors, the energy capability of metal oxide arresters may be reduced because currents can exceed the values stated.
Lightning arresters are used in electrical systems to protect against overvoltages from lightning and switching operations. They work by limiting transient overvoltages to safe levels. Their voltage ratings are calculated based on the

When choosing a lightning arrester, decisions are typically made in three areas: the rating of the arrester (as listed in Table 1), the manufacturer, and the application on systems of various line-to-line voltages.
The rating of a lightning arrester is given below, Normal or rated voltage: It is designated by the maximum permissible value of power frequency voltage which it can support across its line and earth terminal while still carrying effectively and without the automatic extinction of the follow-up current.
An ideal lightning arrester or surge diverter should possess the following essential characteristics. It should not draw any current at normal power frequency voltage i.e., during the normal operation.
There are different types of lightning arrestors available based on the rated voltage levels and application needs. Some of the common types are: Rod gap arresters are one of the simplest forms of lightning protection devices. They consist of two rods with a small air gap between them.
