  • Abstract
    The degradation of Metal Oxide Surge Arresters (MOSA) in service is diagnosed by using the third harmonic content of the resistive portion of the arrester leakage current as an indicator. The third harmonic content consists of two components, i.e., a component due to the nonlinear volt-ampere characteristics of the MOSA and an error component due to the presence of voltage harmonics. In order to assess the discerning ability of an on-site diagnostic method to the error component its indicator has to be compared with that of a benchmark method. This paper discusses such a method
