Brief Theory :
The resistive current (Ir) is only 1525% of the total leakage current. Hence, a sharp increase in resistive
current due to degradation/ageing of Zinc Oxide blocks does not affect the total leakage current considerably.
The higher resistive leakage current may ultimately bring in the LA to thermal instability and may result in
complete failure/breakdown of the Arrester. Hence, the resistive leakage current is the true indicator of
health of an LA in service.
The resistive leakage current depends on the arrester temperature (in practice the ambient temperature) and
the operating voltage. If the temperature and voltage are not taken into account (uncorrected values), the
measured value of the resistive leakage current strongly varies. By taking account of the ambient temperature
and operating
performed under different conditions can be directlyy compared
and the
p
g voltage,
g measurements p
p
measured values will be a reliable indicator of the arrester conditions.
The Ir (Corrected) value limit is 100 A.
