• The MOSA is a cheap and passive component, but protecting crucial apparatus
• Overlooked despite of severe consequences if it fails
• Sealing defects
• Overloading
• The resistive current may exceed a critical limit where the accumulated
energy in the ZnO-blocks exceeds the energy capability of the arrester.
The arrester will then get thermally unstable and fail.

The resistive components are said to be generated by the arrester itself (due to the
current-voltage characteristic) and can therefore be used as a measure for the
arrester condition.
IEC 60099-5 standard
If harmonics are present in the operating voltage, this will generate a significant 3rd
harmonic component in the capacitive leakage current in the arrester.
This capacitive 3rd harmonic component will be “added” to the 3rd harmonic component
resistive component and create a measuring error.
The LCM 500 uses a compensation method where the capacitive component generated by
the operating voltage is eliminated.

Evaluation of Arrester Condition
1. Lakukan pengukuran Thermovisi sebelum pelaksanaan Uji LCM. Bila ditemukan Hotspot pada
kompartemen LA, pengukuran LCM tidak boleh dilaksanakan.
2. Grounding alat uji harus baik. LCM harus terhubung ground dengan baik.
3. CT clip-on harus menutup sempurna saat pengkuran.
4. Seluruh koneksi pengukuran terhubung baik, tidak longgar.
5. Pastikan setting LCM benar:
a. Mode: untuk pengukuran di lapangan, gunakan mode 3-fasa.
b. Temp: setting suhu untuk pengukuran tidak kontinu, menggunakan setting manual,
masukkan estimasi suhu LA.
c. Line: masukkan tegangan operasional saat pengukuran (tegangan kontinu – Uc).
d. Average: Jumlah cacah perhitungan, standar deviasi (penunjukkan error perhitungan),
akan semakin kecil, bila nilai Average semakin besar (rata-rata 10 -20 kali cacah). (sudah
tidak dipakai di FW baru).

Pelaksanaan Pengukuran LCM
(Berdasarkan Buku Pedoman Pemeliharaan LA - PDM/PGI/12 : 2014)
1. Tempatkan LCM500 pada bidang datar dan stabil. Hubungkan instrument melalui kabel yang
layak (kabel listrik/ kawat tanah).
2. Nyalakan instrument dengan menekan tombol ON/OFF pada panel di bagian depan dari
instrument.
4. Hubungkan CCT500 pada kabel tanah sedekat mungkin pada MOSA. Peringatan! MOSA berisi
energi listrik.
6. Tempatkan FP500 secara langsung di bawah basis arrester sedekat mungkin dengan dasar
tanpa melebihi jarak batas aman dan di bawah overhead line (OHL). Pastikan posisinya tetap
sama selama proses akusisi pengukuran.
1. Pengukuran dikoreksi berdasarkan suhu dan tegangan. Pengaruh komponen harmonik ketiga
dari OHL sudah dikurangi (penting untuk memasukkan tegangan operasi yang benar, line-to-
line).
2. Hal yang paling penting dari pembacaan hasil adalah dengan membandingkan dengan nilai
yang direkomendasikan dari pabrikan MOSA, kapan penggantian diperlukan.
3. Masa operasi normal dari arrester berakhir ketika arus bocor mencapai 4x nilai pada saat
tanggal commissioning. (contoh: pada saat komissioning= 30µA, End Of Life = 120µA)
4. Jika data yang direkomendasikan ini tidak ada, maka cara lain yang baik adalah
membandingkan hasil dari arrester yang sama dalam populasi yang sama.
5. Air, polusi dan panas merupakan penyebab kerusakan dari MOSA. Masuknya air dapat
mempercepat penuaan dari MOSA. Panas biasanya disebabkan oleh kondisi lingkungan dan
tegangan berlebih (yang disebabkan karena petir, switching dan tegangan yang lebih)
sehingga menyebabkan arrester mengalami kerusakan.
