    This document provides guidelines for preventative maintenance of electrical lightning arresters. It recommends checking arresters quarterly in normal conditions and quarterly/annually in heavily polluted areas. Checks include inspecting for damage and measuring insulation resistance. Insulation resistance should be over 1,000 M Ohms. The document also recommends regular cleaning of arresters in polluted areas. Technicians are instructed to disconnect arresters when conducting high voltage tests on other equipment to prevent damage from over voltages.

    Adopt a n y method as appropriate for the actual situation. From the
    standpoint of accident prevention, it is essential to periodically check whether or not the
    arrester has sufficient o p e r a t i o n a l capability. There are v a r i o u s m e t h o d s o f checking
    arrester ability to perform as shown below:
    - Measurement of insulation resistance.
    - Leakage current measurement through arrester.

    When using a meggar, take measurements periodically and


    record the
    atmospheric condition also (temperature and humidity).
    Note :
    a) Switch Off line and discharge the HV terminals before
    meggarlng.

    e) Wind guard wire around the lower, outer surface on the porcelain
    and connect the guard wire to the ground terminal on the
    meggar to reduce the influence of humidity

    4.2.2 Maintenance in Heavily Polluted Area


    Regular cleaning is essential depending on the degree and type of
    pollutant.
    To ensure that contamination on porcelain insulators on each arrester Is held
    within the limit guaranteed by each arrester, wash or clean the porcelain
    insulators by referring to the results of measurements taken periodically on sample
    porcelain Insulator.
    4.2.3 Over Voltages
    Over voltage of any nature above the level guaranteed should not be allowed.
    When conducting withstand voltage tests of equipment or devices other than
    arrester, by charging voltage over the normal operation voltage, disconnect the
    arrester from the circuit.
    Note: Remember, voltage higher than MCOV for a long period of time adversely affect
    the zinc oxide blocks, resulting in degradation of its characteristics.
