Development of quality inspection system for insulation monitoring device of metal-oxide surge arrester

Metal-oxide surge arrester (MOA) is one of the important equipment in electrical utility company, its security and stability is critical to the safe operation of electrical equipment, and the insulation monitoring device is vital for getting the running status of metal-oxide surge arrester. Technical parameters requirements of this kind of device is discusses in this paper, and furthermore, relying on the condition monitoring technology laboratory for transmission and transformation equipment of the State Grid Corporation of China, a complete set of quality evaluation system is established, of which the following functions were realized, the total current and resistive current measurement error test, communication function test, environmental adaptability test, insulation performance test, electromagnetic compatibility performance test, mechanical performance test, enclosure protection performance test etc. With the system, a powerful technical support can be provided for the quality evaluation of the device, as well as the safe and reliable operation of the arrester.
