SUMMARY OF ROUTINE TESTS

Minimum requirements for routine tests are specified by IEC.

The tests performed and listed below fulfil and exceed the requirements according to
IEC 60099-4. In addition, all ZnO-blocks are individually checked regarding their electrical
properties and energy capability. Sample tests on blocks from each batch are performed verifying
compliance with type test requirements of energy and high current withstand capability as well as
life stability.

 Residual voltage at 10kA (8/20 µs) is individually measured on each ZnO-block. The residual
voltage of the complete arrester is taken as the sum of the residual voltages of the ZnO-blocks
in series.

 Grading current is measured at Uc (continuous operating voltage) on each arrester unit for
information only. Acceptance criteria are therefore not applicable.

 Reference voltage is measured on each arrester unit.

 After the reference voltage test having a minimum test time of 30 seconds the test voltage is
decreased to 0.9 times rated voltage of the unit. At this voltage each unit is checked to have a
steady internal corona level less than 5 pC.

 Power losses are measured at Uc on each arrester unit.
