Qualification association: We adhere strictly to globally recognized regulations and protocols, integrating environmental excellence and quality management throughout the product lifecycle.

VIII. Real-world cooperation cases

The Weda Bay #5 substation main transformer expansion in Indonesia is now operational. The system provides real-time monitoring of surge arrester performance parameters including total and resistive current. Utilizing high-precision sensing and intelligent analytics, it detects early insulation deterioration and issues proactive alerts, transitioning maintenance from periodic inspections to predictive condition-based strategies. This enhances equipment reliability, prevents outage risks, and strengthens grid operational safety.
IX. Application Scenarios
• Remote Substations & Transmission Lines (e.g., mountains, deserts, forests): Online monitoring allows for remote condition assessment, significantly reducing the need for risky and costly manual inspections.
• Coastal or Industrial Areas: Arresters here face accelerated aging from salt spray or chemical pollution. The system provides real-time insulation performance data, enabling more timely and data-driven maintenance than periodic checks.
• Critical Facilities (e.g., Data Centers, Semiconductor Plants, Financial Hubs): For these users, even a minute of power outage results in significant losses. Online monitoring serves as a preventative "outpost" for grid infrastructure.
• Crucial Urban Grids & Key Substations: Prevents arrester failures from causing maloperations or cascading power outages, enhancing grid reliability.

XI. Product usage tutorials, solutions, and technical problem notifications
1. Operation and Maintenance
During operation, Surge Arrester Monitoring displays the leakage current and cumulative action count of the arresters on its front panel. This data is also transmitted to an integrated monitoring unit and ultimately displayed on the monitoring backend.
Under normal operation, the SUN-IGuard-301 system exhibits the following characteristics:
The front-panel digital display remains constantly lit, showing the leakage current value and action count.
The data displayed on the system must match the data shown on the monitoring backend.
The leakage current should typically be 0.3–0.5 mA for arresters below 220kV, and 2–5 mA for arresters rated 330–750kV.
If any of these characteristics are not met during inspection, it indicates a system malfunction that requires investigation.

XIV. FAQ
Q1: What is the main failure mode of a GIS surge arrester?
A1: Varistor aging, which increases leakage current and can lead to thermal runaway, causing a short-circuit or explosion.
Q2: What are the key parameters to monitor?
A2: Total current and resistive current. The resistive current is the critical indicator for varistor aging.
Q3: What else should be monitored besides current?
A3: The operation counter (to track overvoltage events) and SF6 gas density (to ensure proper insulation).
Q4: How is arrester aging or abnormality judged?
A4: By analyzing trends and comparisons: a steady rise in resistive current, a significant increase from baseline (e.g., double), or a large imbalance between phases (e.g., >30%).
Q5: What actions should be taken if data is abnormal?
A5: First, verify the data's accuracy. For a slow trend, increase monitoring frequency. For a sharp increase or an exceeded threshold, plan for immediate shutdown and replacement due to high risk of failure.
