6 FAQs about [Capacitor connected to lightning arrester]

What is a surge arrester & a capacitor?

The combination of surge arresters and surge capacitors serve to limit the turn-to-turn insulation stress on the device being protected. Why Hitachi Energy? Hitachi Energy's motor surge protection bank (MSP) is designed to limit the turn-to-turn insulation stress imposed on the device being protected.

How does a lightning arrestor work?

If the surge is of a low current relative to its voltage intensity, the capacitor will absorb it. If the surge has high current, the capacitor cannot absorb it. By contrast, our lightning arrestor takes no current from the line during normal operation. When a surge occurs, the arrestor turns on to provide a discharge path.

What is a lightning arrester?

A lightning arrester is connected to protect a piece of equipment from lightning and switching surges. Overvoltages may cause the burning of insulation of substation equipment if not well protected. Lightning is one of the most serious causes of overvoltages. There are various types of lightning arrester construction. They are

Should an arrestor be installed with a capacitor?

For this reason, an arrestor should always be installed with a capacitor to protect it from intense surges. Surge capacitors offer the user high transient voltage withstand, long design life, low dielectric loss and rugged construction.

Do capacitor banks need surge arresters?

Many capacitor banks are operated without surge arresters. However, there are a variety of reasons to instal arresters: To prevent capacitor failures at a breaker restrike or failure. To limit the risk of repeated breaker restrikes. To prolong the service life of the capacitors by limiting high overvoltages.

What causes a re-strike in a lightning arrester?

Surge voltages associated with the discharge of lightning arresters at other locations within the facility. When capacitors are switched in and out of the circuit, it is possible to get a re-strike when interrupting the capacitor circuit current. A steep-front voltage excursion may be created from each re-strike.
