The effects of fast rise multiple lightning impulse on the electrical breakdown characteristics of MOV

The behavior and performance of lightning protective devices such as metal oxide varistor under the application of multiple lightning impulses are different from the standard single stroke test. Since metal oxide varistor is the most common, economical and reliable device for low voltage and telecom...
