E T HP AR R&D Ü1/2 (complete arresters)
The residual voltage tests (lightning current impulse and high current impulse) were performed on three
typical arrester sections (1 metal-oxide resistor). Additionally the lightning current impulse residual voltage
test with 10kA, 8/20µs has also been carried out on three units (bodys) of SVU 3EV5 144-0LK12-4ZZ9.
According to the KEPCO technical specification, clause 8.1.7 all measured residual voltage values shall
be below the maximum values for one complete SVU (consisting of two units):
• 420kV at rated discharge current (10kA, 2/20µs)

The tolerances of the specified values for exponential impulse currents are listed in the following table
(according to IEC 62475 (2010):
To determine inductive effects of the voltage measuring circuit a current impulse equal to the discharge
current was applied to a metal block having the same dimensions as the samples. Because the peak
voltage on the metal block was less than 2 % of the peak voltage of the resistor samples, no inductive
correction to the resistor measurements was required.
The maximum lightning current impulse residual voltage for the given complete SVU is calculated from
the lightning current impulse residual voltage of the single metal-oxide resistor multiplied by the scale
factor plus a calculated inductive voltage drop across the complete SVU according IEC 60099-8, clause
8.3.2, procedure b).

Test facility: E T HP AR R&D Ü4
The lightning surge operating duty test was carried out on single metal-oxide resistors (test circuits see
sheet-nos. 29 and 32). While the test samples were energized at rated voltage five nominal discharge
current impulses with waveform 8/20µs were applied 15 ± 15 electrical degrees before the positive peak
of the voltage. Within 10 minutes after the last positive nominal discharge current five more nominal
discharge current impulses with negative peak value were applied 15 ± 15 electrical degrees before the
negative peak of the voltage. The interval between the impulses was 1 minute.
Before and after the test the residual voltage at nominal discharge current 10kA, 8/20µs was measured.

reference voltage at 1 A peak current was calculated from the reference voltage Uref,1.0mA and the voltage-
current characteristic of the arrester according to the following formula (the factor between the reference
voltage at 1.0 mA and 1 A is 1.15): û1A = Uref,1.0mA *√2*nunits*1.15 (test circuit see sheet-no. 35).
Pass criteria: ûref1A ≥ 204kVp (two units in series) equal Uref,1.0mA unit ≥ 62.7 kV

12 Follow Current Interruption test

Test facility: E T HP BSS LAB HV
Background: During the follow current interruption test, the externally gapped line arrester (EGLA) has to
show that it has the capability to cut off the follow current after a sparkover due to lightning.
According to the technical specification of KEPCO, the sample has to be under contaminated condition.
Five impulses of lightning voltage have to be applied for each positive and negative polarity and the cutoff
time has to be lower than 1/2 cycle of power frequency. The required AC voltage is 170/√3 = 98.1 kVeff.

Prior to the test, the silicone surface of the arrester bodies (samples #3 and #21) have been abraded to
roughen their surface. To remove the hydrophobicity of the silicone, kaolin powder has been applied
thoroughly on the whole arrester surface, see photo 12.1.1. This treatment leads to a complete wetting of
the arrester surface when applying the contaminant solution.
12.1.1 Photograph of test sample kaolin powder has been applied

The contaminant solution has been prepared according to IEC 60507, clause 13.2 with a salt deposit
density (SDD) of 0.5 mg/cm2, corresponding to a volume conductivity of the contaminant solution of
200 mS/cm. The solution prepared for the test had a volume conductivity of 206 mS/cm
12.1.2 Photograph of test sample contaminant solution
12.2 Test procedure
Prior to the test itself, the arresters with the applied kaolin have been mounted to the insulator device and
the gap distances have been adjusted to the specified values (630 mm). Besides the surface treatment,
all components were in a factory new condition and completely assembled as in service.
After installation, the arresters have been sprayed with the contaminant solution, wetting the whole
silicone surface.
After that, the AC voltage has been raised up to the specified value of 98.1 kVeff and the lightning
impulses were applied. For each test, the voltage and current of the test sample have been measured.

12.3 Test results
All Pass criteria were fulfilled: The test object has passed the follow current interrupting test without
any objection. For each test, including five tests with positive and five with negative polarity, the follow
current cutoff time was far below the required value of 1/2 cycle of the power frequency. The results are

5.2.1 Visible corona test
Under dry conditions, 1.2 times the phase-to-ground voltage (1.2 x 170/√3 = 117.8 kV) was applied to the
test sample. Under wet conditions, the phase-to-ground voltage of 170/√3 = 98.1 kV was applied.
While the voltage was applied, the testing hall was completely dimmed. All participants of the test were
not more than approx. 10 m away from the test object.
5.2.2 Radio interference voltage test
The test voltage was at first increased to 1.2 times the phase-to-ground voltage (1.2 x 170/√3 = 117.8
kV). After that, the voltage was lowered to 1.1 x 170/√3, where it was maintained for 5 min.
Based on the method in IEC 60099-4, the voltage was then changed in steps of 9.8 kV (0.1 times the
phase-to-ground voltage). First it was decreased to 0.5 times 170/√3, raised again to 1.05 times 170/√3
for 5 min and finally decreased to 0.5 times 170/√3. At each step, a radio interference measurement was
performed.

Overall correction factor Kt 0.971
Wet conditions:
Prior to the tests, the precipitation rate of rain was measured. The rain water has been collected for
60 seconds and the precipitation rates have been calculated from the collected volumes.

Spray angle: 45°
Test method:
The 50 % flashover voltage Ud50 has been determined by the up-and-down method. The standard
deviation ( δ ) is set to be 6 % for 250 / 2500 µs impulses. To calculate the values, the following approach
(after Dixon and Mood) has been used:
1. choice of a starting voltage U00, where no sparkover will occur for sure
2. increasing of the test voltage by a fixed value Δu (7 kV / 12 kV) until the first sparkover occurs.
This first occasion is counted as test no. 1.
3. after the first sparkover, the test voltage is decreased by Δu. If another sparkover occurs, the
voltage is decreased again. If there is no sparkover, the test voltage is increased by Δu. This is
repeated until the total test number of 20 is reached.
4. determination of the occasion (sparkover or withstand) that happened less frequently. The
number of this occasion is k, the number of the complementary occasion q = 20 - k.
5. for the statistical analysis, the voltage levels are assigned to indices i : the level with the first
sparkover is U0, the following U1, U2, U3 etc.
6. the estimates for the 50% flashover voltage Ud50 calculated with the following formulas:
r
A = ∑ iki
i =1
r
B = ∑ i 2 ki (with ki as the number of occasions in the voltage step i)
i =1
U d 50 = u0 + ∆u ( kA ± 12 )
In the formula for Ud50, the prefix + is choosen if the considered occasions are withstands, – if the
occasions are sparkovers.
The lightning impulse withstand voltage UWS is than calculated with the following formula
U10% = U d 50% ⋅ (1 − 2.5 ⋅ δ )

1 Tests performed
A Weather Aging Test, Series A according to standard IEC 60099-4, Ed. 2.2, Clause 10.8.14
and standard IEEE C62.11-2005, Clause 8.7 was performed on the following metal-oxide
surge arrester:
Manufacturer: Siemens Surge Arresters Limited

Type: 3EV5 (identical in construction with arrester 3EK7 600-4CK4)
Date of manufacture: 10/2011
MCOV(Uc): 48 kV
Creepage distance: 1595 mm
Number of test samples: 1, serial number: 22
For identification of the test sample see figure 2.1 (dimension drawing, Section 2).
The test consists of a 1000 h salt fog application while the arrester is energized at a test
voltage of U = 48 kV. The test was performed with a salt mass concentration of 10 kg/m³ at
the beginning. Because of flashovers on other arresters inside the test chamber, the salt
mass concentration was first reduced to 5 kg/m³ after 170 hours and then to 2,5 kg/m³ after
415 hours.
This test shall confirm that there is no tracking or erosion on the surface of the SVU housing
that may impair the EGLA's operating performance.
During the test, the peak values of the surface current (maximum values within 15-minute-
intervals) were recorded by a computer aided data acquisition system.
Before and after the test, following arrester characteristics were measured for the purpose of
test evaluation:
 reference voltage at 1,5 mA peak current (a.c.),

 partial discharge level.
