Abstract :
The specification, design, and testing of arresters for the HVDC Pacific Coast Intertie are discussed. Included in the report is a description of the overvoltage events significant to arrester design and the resulting specification. The basic problems associated with dc arrester design and techniques used to overcome these problems are covered.
