Abstract
The paper presents the methods of assessing the technical condition of varistor surge arresters used in laboratory tests and in operation—performed without disconnecting the arresters from the network. The analysis of the diagnostic methods was supplemented with the results of the measurements of the leakage current of arresters coming directly from their production and used in the power industry. Among the available methods of evaluating the technical condition of arresters, mainly indicator solutions (temperature and operation counter) and the measurement of the selected parameters of the leakage current are used. In the latter, the method of determining the resistive component of the leakage current, determined on the basis of the analysis of the voltage and current waveforms, or only the arrester current, has become widespread. In this type of measurement, current clamps are used in the operation, and additionally, in voltage measurements, voltage transformers are used, where you have to take into account the fundamental, additional sources of errors discussed in the article. These errors and the dispersion resulting from the production technology may fundamentally hinder the proper assessment of the technical condition; hence, it is so important to properly recognize the listed basic sources of measurement uncertainty. In addition, the analysis should take into account three factors related to external conditions: temperature, the voltage applied to the arrester, and the content of higher harmonics in the supply voltage, for which appropriate methods have been provided to determine the active component of the leakage current for reference conditions. This article presents the results of the measurements of the leakage currents of surge arresters measured with various methods.
