5. LIGHTNING ARRESTER

1. General

This specification covers the design, manufacture, factory test, delivery, installation, field
test and commissioning of lightning arresters, complete with all accessories.

The equipment specified in this Section shall conform to the latest edition of the
appropriate IEC specifications and/or other recognized international standards. In
particular:

IEC 60099-4 Metal-oxide Surge arrester without gap for a.c. system
IEC 60099-5 Surge arrester - Selection and application recommendations
IEC 60529 Degree of protection provided by enclosures

2. Design Requirements

The lightning arresters shall be suitable for a nominal system of 3 phase, 50Hz solidly
grounded system. Lightning arresters shall be provided at entry points of the overhead
transmission lines and both HV & LV sides of the transformers.

The lightning arresters shall be station type, gap less metal oxide type of rated voltage of 120
kV for 132 kV systems. The nominal discharge current shall not be less than 10 kA.

The active part of the lightning arresters shall be accommodated in single stacked porcelain
insulators, which are suitably reinforced to prevent explosion of an arrester.

Pressure relief device shall be provided for the safe discharge of internal pressure.

The lightning arresters shall be preferably mounted (upright/inverted) on galvanized steel


structure. Terminal connectors for both line and ground terminals shall be furnished.

Surge monitoring device consisting of surge counter, leakage current measuring instrument
etc., along with insulating bases for mounting at the bottom of the arrester, shall be
furnished.

The technical features of the lightning arresters are given in Appendix.

3. Test

3.1 Each lightning arrester switch shall be subjected to following routine tests. As far as
practical, the procedure of IEC shall be followed:

(a) Measurement of reference voltage


(b) Residual voltage test
(c) Internal partial discharge test.

3.2 The lightning arrester design tests shall include following:
