Distribution Arrester Ac Rating Calculator

This document uses a calculator to determine the appropriate AC rating for an arrester based on the characteristics of an electrical distribution system. It provides the nominal system voltage, maximum line to ground voltage during a fault, overvoltage duration, and recommends a 15kV rated arrester to withstand potential overvoltages in the system. The calculator overlays the system overvoltage curve with the arrester's withstand capability to determine the proper rating.
