Comparative Simulation Analysis of Selected Medium and High Voltage Surge Protection Devices

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present and analyze the processes occurring as a result of installing a long flashover arrester (LFA) and a multi-chamber arrester (MCA) as overvoltage protection of power networks. The numerical models of LFA and MCA will be made in order to carry out simulations in the scope of selected structural elements of the considered overvoltage protection device. The above research is a significant supplement to the information on the selection of an effective solution for overvoltage protection.
