The document discusses the behavior of zinc oxide surge arresters under pollution conditions. It describes various laboratory and field tests conducted to study the effects of pollution and dry band formation on surge arresters. The laboratory tests included salt fog method, solid layer method, partial wetting method, and slurry method. Field tests were also conducted in marine and industrial pollution areas. The tests showed that salt fog method and slurry method best replicated thermal stresses under natural pollution. Dry band formation led to higher internal currents, discharges, and local temperatures near the varistor column.

Surge arresters constitute an indispensable aid to insulation coordination in electrical power systems. There the voltages which may appear in an electrical power system are given in per-unit of the peak value of the highest continuous line-to-earth voltage, depending on the duration of their appearance. The voltage or overvoltage which can be reached without the use of arresters is a value of several p.u. If instead, one considers the curve of the withstand voltage of equipment insulation (here equipment means electrical devices such as power transformers) one notices that starting in the range of switching overvoltages, and especially for lightning over voltages, the equipment insulation cannot withstand the occurring dielectric stresses. At this point, the arresters intervene. When in operation, it is certain that the voltage that occurs at the terminal of the device - while maintaining an adequate safety margin - will stay below the withstand voltage. Arresters’ effect, therefore, involves lightning and switching over voltages.
The time axis is roughly divided into the range of lightning overvoltage (microseconds), switching overvoltages (milliseconds), temporary overvoltages (seconds) – which are commonly cited by the abbreviation "TOV" – and finally the temporally unlimited highest continuous system operation voltage.

Ceramic fuses are types of electrical safety device that are made of ceramic flash, hence enabling them to prevent shattering of the fuses when they are blown out. Ceramic fuses are opaque in nature hence make it difficult for inspection. Ceramic fuses are highly preferred in situations where high current are normally expected
These types of electrical fuses are highly efficient as they prevent contaminating electrical systems like other fuses when they are blown up as the elements that constitute these types of fuses are internally retained in such situations hence no spilling over. The high breaking or rupturing capacity of ceramic fuses makes them ideal for use in high voltage app and machinery. The sand inside, normally found in ceramic fuses absorbs generated heat energy preventing the fuse from fire
As the name fuse holder suggests, these are equipment used to keep electrical fuses in their required positions preventing them from interacting with other electrical devices found in machinery. Most of the fuse holders have insulation properties hence do not influence electrical circuits or affect them in any way possible.
Fuse holders can be effective in electrical circuits that are highly sensitive and those using glass fuses instead of ceramic fuses Some of the common fuse holders available in the market are in base version , panel and rail fuse holders used in various electrical circuits.

STUDY THE EFFECT OF METALLIC PARTICLE ON DIFFERENT SPACER IN A CO-AXIAL DUCT ...EditorIJAERD
Particle accelerators can be placed in two general classes, those which operate by direct time varying electric or
magnetic fields. The following discussion will relate primarily to the direct acceleration machine where the maximum
particle energy is determined by the voltage which can be insulated. In this work, it is proposed the breakdown of air gaps in
a co-axial geometry, due to the presence of metallic particle has been studied. Bare copper wire particles of different lengths
have been introduced in to a co-axial geometry and breakdown strength of air gap has been estimated. The testing high ac
voltage, positive dc voltage and negative dc voltage is carried out. The study repeated with dielectric covering to the control
conductor. When a sufficiently high electric field is applied to a gas, avalanche ionization (TOWNSEND PROCESS) occurs
which will lead to breakdown. Gas insulated systems are extensively used in air insulated system due to advantages of weight
and volume reduction, limited overall space requirements and easy maintenance. Even though case wise, GIS is very
expensive has compared to AIS, it is preferred because of better service, more reliable performance and facility of higher
operating stresses. In recent years, SF6 has been considered to green house gas and hence, all round efforts are made to
reduce emission of SF6 gas in to the atmosphere. This was successfully used in GITL (gas insulated transmission lines) and
experimental lines of few kilometers lengths are available
Frabication of an eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor from Terminalia catappa le...IJAEMSJORNAL
Metal corrosion is one of the most challenging problems facing industries. Using corrosion inhibitors is one reasonable approach to protecting metal surfaces. Due to the toxicity of industrial corrosion inhibitors, researchers are continuously searching for green, economical, and friendly alternatives. The present study focuses on the application of Terminalia catappa leaf extract to mitigate the corrosion of concrete reinforcing steel in a simulated seawater environment. The dry product from the Terminalia catappa leaf extraction process was determined to have amino functional groups in polyphenols. Polarization results demonstrate that the corrosion current density decreases from 8.87 A/cm2 (for samples soaked in blank solution) to 5.12 µA/cm2 when adding the optimal concentration of 0.004% of Terminalia catappa leaf extract. 3.5% NaCl solution. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis showed that the inhibition efficiency reached over 90% at this concentration after 24 hours of soaking.

Laboratory investigation of the impact of air pollution on partial discharge ...IJECEIAES
Studying the discharge characteristics of transmission line insulators in the presence of pollution, particularly when the contaminated layer is wet by rain, fog or condensation, is necessary for selecting the proper insulation. Therefore, identifying the major air pollutants as well as the most effective ones on the discharge performance of outdoor insulators is mandatory. A systematic approach has been proposed to evaluate the impact of dominant air pollutants of an area on partial discharge (P.D) inception voltage of specimen insulators. Based on the suggested method, determining the pollution constituents, defining the dominant pollutant of the area, finding the most commonly used insulators for medium and above distribution voltages within the geographical boundaries of the Central Province of Iran, as well as examining the effect of dominant air pollutant of the region on partial discharge inception voltage of designated insulators by laboratory measurements, are the necessary steps toward a comprehensive study of the subject.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

4. Results of pollution test with standard test procedure
5. Conclusion
6. References
3. Introduction
Here we presents results of pollution tests with A.C. voltages on a
zinc oxide arrester. Zinc oxide surge arresters are exposed to heavy
thermal and electrical stresses if the porcelain housings of the
arrester units are polluted together with other environmental stresses
such as temporary over voltages or high temperatures this can lead
to thermal runaway of the metal oxide arrester (MOA).
4. What is surge arrester ?
A surge arrester is a device to protect electrical equipment from over-voltage
transients caused by external (lightning) or internal (switching) events. This class
of device is used to protect equipment in power transmission and distribution
systems.
What is varistor ?
A varistor is an electronic component with a nonlinear current–voltage
characteristic, and is therefore also known as a voltage-dependent resistor
(VDR). At low voltage it has a high electrical resistance which decreases as the
voltage is raised.
5. Test arrangement and measuring equipment
The varistor column is mounted
inside of the porcelain housing
and is fixed to the housing using
different constructions depending
on the manufacturer. In most
industrial designs there is an air
insulation between the porcelain
housing and the arrester column.
6. Pollution and dry band formation
To investigate the influence of dry band formation on the
stresses of the zinc oxide material a special test has been
carried out with a single arrester unit. First the arrester housing
was polluted and dried. Afterwards at a certain location on the
porcelain housing a dry zone of about 10 % of the total creep
age length was formed artificially which was just large enough
to prevent arcing across the dry zone.
7.
8. Impulsive Currents Caused by Internal Discharges
In case of only one dry zone at the bottom flange of the arrester
housing there is a high radial electric field strength between the
pollution layer and the varistor elements. This electric field is
caused by the full applied test voltage only reduced by a small
voltage drop along the outside pollution layer and the voltage
drop along a few bottom varistor element.
9. Results of pollution test with standard test procedure
The thermal preformation of a ZnO surge arrester in polluted
condition studied in:
1. Laboratory Test
a. Salt Fog Method
b. Solid Layer Method
c. Partial Wetting Method
d. Slurry Method
2. Field Test
10. a. Salt Fog Method
The test procedure consisted of energizing the arrester at a
voltage of 245/√3 kV for a predetermined time in a salt fog
atmosphere, unless a flash over occurred in this period. The
main characteristics of the salt fog method is the possibility
of high thermal stress on the arrester. The thermal stress on
the one unit is maintained on the same unit during the entire
test period.
11. b. Solid layer method
The solid layer tests were performed with an increased
steam input rate. The solid layer test gives a considerably
lower external charge accumulation compared to the other
test method. This is due to the washing effect of the steam
fog, which limits the duration of the pollution activity.
12. c. Partial wetting method
The partial wetting test differs considerably from the
other test methods. The location of temperature rise in the
upper half of the arrester is predetermined by the wetting
procedure, and a very high temperature rise may appear
in a very short time.
13. d. Slurry Method
In contrast to the partial wetting test, the slurry test implies that
the pollutant (Slurry) is applied to the complete arrester and not
only to the lower half. The main characteristic of slurry test is
that the temperature rise may appear any arrester any unit with
about the same probability. The external charge depends on the
number of test cycles in included in the test. The temperature rise
varies from one cycle to another.
14. 2. Field Test
The pollution test on surge arrester at Martigues (France) and
Lista (Norway) were carried out in areas of marine and
industrial pollution. The results from the field test can be used to
select a laboratory test method which is able to regenerate the
actual thermal stress imposed on ZnO surge arrester in naturally
polluted condition. The field tests show that:
15. Conti…
a. Significant temperature rise may appear in any unit
of a multi-unit arrester.
b. The influence of the specific creep age distance on the
accumulated external charge in negligible within the
range studied.
c. The thermal stress on the arrester is not mainly
caused by larger surface leakage currents during short
periods.
16. Conclusion
A comparison of test results from the field test and the
laboratory test shows that the salt fog method and the slurry
method are both capable of regenerating the thermal stress
imposed on surge arresters in naturally polluted conditions.
17. Conti…
Dry band formation on polluted metal oxide surge arresters at A.C.
voltages may result in:
a. Rise of the internal A.C. current in the arrester column up to
four times higher than under clean condition.
b. Discharges inside of the arrester due to a high radial electric field
strength.
c. High local temperatures at the varistor column near to the dry
band depending on the size and position the dry band
18. Future work
Modelling and Simulation of the Surge Arresters using IES
COULOMB, a dedicated software for 3D-Field Solution of any
3D Model.
The result obtained by the simulation will be verified by taking
some experimental data if available from the internet or doing
by ourselves.
