Technical Methodology for Energy and Charge Dimensioning of Metal-Oxide Surge Arresters in Modern Power Systems
1.Introduction and Theoretical Foundations The protection of electrical power systems against transient overvoltages is a discipline that sits at the intersection of electromagnetic field theory, material science, and thermodynamic engineering. At the core of this discipline lies the Metal-Oxide Surge Arrester (MOSA), a device whose non-linear voltage-current ( U - I ) characteristics allow it to act as a dynamic insulation barrier. However, the correct application of these
