Abstract :
This paper presents the importance to coordinate the selection of arrester rated voltage and disconnector characteristics with the system characteristics for an optimized selection of non-gapped line arresters, NGLA. It describes the important tests performed on disconnectors to make this selection possible and how the actual system performance needs to be considered.
