Based on this table, it would be unwise to use any arrester with an MCOV greater than 8kV mcov on a 230kV circuit. IEEE C62.22 recommends no more than 15% on most insulation.

Summary
Protection of HV Cables with single point bonded segmented sheaths requires two types of Arresters
A St Standard d d Station St ti Class Cl Arrester A t protects t t the primary insulation from failure. A Sheath Voltage Limiter (low MCOV distribution arrester without disconnector) is used to protect the jacket of the cable d i during surge events t on the th primary conductor.
Summary
When Selecting the MCOV Rating of these Arresters
HV Station Class Arrester The system line to ground voltage and TOV determine the MCOV rating. Sheath Voltage Limiter The voltage induced on the sheath from a fault in the phase conductor primarily determines the MCOV CO rating of f the SVL S
Summary
When Selecting the MCOV rating of these Arresters
HV Station Class Arrester In all cases, the station class arrester will provide adequate insulation protection. Sheath Voltage Limiter For longer segments of cable the AC rating may need to be closely checked and optimized farther f on 230kV 230 lines, but in most other cases, the Margin of Protection is not an issue once the AC rating is determined
Summary
When Selecting the Energy Rating of these Arresters
HV Station Class Arrester Use Station Class arrester for most applications. Sheath Voltage Limiter For most cases a standard distribution class arrester will work.
