Analysis of thermal characteristics of the ZnO arrester block

This paper presents the thermal characteristics of ZnO arrester blocks under the AC voltage. The leakage currents of ZnO arrester blocks were measured as a function of time. The temperature distribution of ZnO arrester blocks were observed by the forward looking infrared camera. The degradation and thermal runaway of ZnO arrester blocks were related to the temperature of ZnO arrster blocks which depended on heat generation and dissipation. As a result, the degradation and thermal runaway of ZnO arrester blocks are associated with the temperature and leakage current of ZnO arrester blocks.
