Aged and failed line surge arresters (LSA) would reduce the overvoltage protection for the equipment, leave equipment unprotection and shorten its lifetime. LSA failure can cause transient and nuisance tripping in the system reducing the overall work performance index (SAIDI) in a distribution netwo...
