Development of the Lightning Surge Voltage and Current Counters

This paper deals with the lightning surge counter. In order to install the effective surge protective devices, it is important to find the parameters of incident surges. For the purpose of observing the occurrence frequency as a parameter of the amplitude of surge, two type surge counters were designed and fabricated. One is operated by surge currents, and the other is operated by surge voltages. The former consists of current sensor, metal oxide varister (MOV), rectifier, capacitor and electromagnetic counter. The latter consists of rectifier, voltage divider, comparator, photo coupler and counter circuit, and is useful for detecting the surge voltages.
