I. A brief product introduction
Metal oxide zinc surge arresters are key power equipment components, with resistive current being a critical indicator of insulation performance. Real-time online monitoring of total current, resistive current, capacitive current, and lightning events enables continuous insulation status assessment. Analyzing this data helps identify potential faults early and supports condition-based maintenance. This ensures safe, reliable, and economical power system operation, provides maintenance personnel with reliable insulation information, reduces accidents, extends maintenance intervals, cuts outage frequency and duration, and improves equipment utilization and economic efficiency.

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.
