surge arrestor installed in indoor application like SWG
panel, HT motor termination box and etc..Lighning arrestor
installed in out door,example: top of building,and it is
connected to earth, incase of lighting air terminal will be
atracted by lightning and it is grounded.
Surge arrester installed in the power line, incase of hi-
sugre in the line, surge arrester (MOV) metal oxide
verister will conduct to the ground, and it will return
back to normal state. MOV during normal state the
resistance is high, when the surge incresed above the
certain limt it wil reduce the resistance.

Answer / eee
surge arrestor: these are capacitive/ solid state devices
which prevents sudden rise in voltage (max 2Vrated)
lightning arrestors: these are nonlinear elements, provides
high impedance in normal working, very low impedance at very
high voltage (lightning)....
withgap metal oxide will have higher voltage carrying
capacity. then the without gap MO.....

what is working process of star delta controlling circuit ?
relation between power station capacity and voltage level?
For a 6.6kV Motor it is recommended to do megger test with 500 V d.c and not more than 5kV d.c but the Hi voltage withstand test should be performed by 12kV AC. Why the dc voltage test should be limited but AC voltage withstand test could be with such a high voltage?
When we use 3 terminal resistor?
we have consol make 3 phase servo stabilizer for cnc m/c. while installing the earth neutral voltage is 1.7 volts at stbilizer off condition and when stabilizer get on en voltage reaches 4.8 volts (new earthing is done and neutral is helthy condition all phase to neutral volts 440,442,441 v)why this happen.solution for cause.

Resistance of a conductor in a close electrical ckt is practically zero why?
I am getting above 60 V as open delta voltage against single phase unit ICT at tertiary delta formed and ICT getting trippped on NDR. ICT tested and found in order. PTs provided on tertiary are tested and in order. what may be the reason?
