Lightning is a powerful force of nature that can wreak havoc on electrical systems and equipment. When lightning strikes, it generates a surge of electrical energy that can surge through power lines, causing damage to electrical equipment, appliances, and even posing serious safety risks to people.

What are the functions and uses of the lightning arrester​? When do we need a surge arrester? Where should the arrester be installed for better results?

lightning arresters can protect our lives and property. Do you know how a lightning arrester works? What are the specific characteristics of the arrester?

Transmission line surge arresters (TLSAs) have become an important design and mitigation alternative to improve grounding and reduce investment in overhead ground wire. However, they have also been known to experience a number of mechanical problems in service.

Lightning Arrester is an electrical appliance used to protect electrical equipment from high transient over-voltage hazards during lightning strikes, limit the freewheeling time, and often limit the freewheeling amplitude. A lightning Arrester is sometimes called an overvoltage protector or overvoltage limiter. Next, let's take a look at the introduction of Lightning Arrester. Here are some answers.

Malaysia’s power system operates in a region of intense lightning activity that adversely impacts performance of certain lines, such as 132 kV Kuala Krai to Gua Musang line located in the northeast and the 500 kV Ayer Tawar to Bukit Tarek line which runs along the western coast of the Malay peninsula.
