Surge arresters - Part 8: Metal-oxide surge arresters with external series gap (EGLA) for overhead transmission and distribution lines of a.c. systems above 1 kV

This part of IEC 60099 covers metal-oxide surge arresters with external series gap (externally gapped line arresters (EGLA) that are applied on overhead transmission and distribution lines, only to protect insulator assemblies from lightning-caused flashovers.
This standard defines surge arresters to protect the insulator assembly from lightning-caused overvoltages only. Therefore, and since the metal-oxide resistors are not permanently connected to the line, the following items are not considered for this standard:
• switching impulse sparkover voltage;
• residual voltage at steep current and switching current impulse;
• thermal stability;
• long-duration current impulse withstand duty;
• power-frequency voltage versus time characteristics of an arrester;
• disconnector test;
• aging duties by power-frequency voltage.
Considering the particular design concept and the special application on overhead transmission and distribution lines, some unique requirements and tests are introduced, such as the verification test for coordination between insulator withstand and EGLA protective level, the follow current interrupting test, mechanical load tests, etc.
Designs with the EGLA's external series gap installed in parallel to an insulator are not covered by this standard.

Parafoudres - Partie 8: Parafoudres à oxyde métallique avec éclateur extérieur en série (EGLA) pour lignes aériennes de transmission et de distribution de réseaux à courant alternatif de plus de 1 kV

La CEI 60099-8:2011 concerne les parafoudres à oxyde métallique, de ligne avec éclateur extérieur en série (EGLA) utilisés sur les lignes aériennes de transmission et de distribution, uniquement pour protéger les ensembles isolateurs contre les contournements provoqués par la foudre. Cette norme définit des parafoudres destinés à protéger l'ensemble isolateur uniquement contre les surtensions provoquées par la foudre. Les conceptions avec des EGLA à éclateur extérieur en série montés en parallèle sur un isolateur ne sont pas couvertes par la présente norme.

Prenapetostni odvodniki - 8. del: Kovinsko-oksidni prenapetostni odvodniki z zunanjim zaporedno vezanim iskriščem (EGLA) za nadzemne prenosne in razdelilne vode v izmeničnih sistemih nad 1 kV (IEC 60099-8:2011)

Ta del IEC 60099 zajema kovinsko-oksidne prenapetostne odvodnike z zunanjim zaporedno vezanim iskriščem (EGLA), ki se uporabljajo na nadzemnih prenosnih in razdelilnih vodih samo za zaščito izolacijskih sklopov pred prebojnim vžigom zaradi delovanja strele.
Ta standard določa prenapetostne odvodnike, ki ščitijo izolacijski sklop samo pred prenapetostjo, ki jo povzroča delovanje strele. Iz tega razloga in ker kovinsko-oksidni upori niso trajno povezani z vodom, ta standard ne obravnava naslednjih postavk:
• prebojne napetosti pri preklopnem impulzu;
• preostale napetosti pri strmem tokovnem impulzu in preklopnem tokovnem impulzu;
• toplotne stabilnosti;
• odpornosti proti dolgotrajnemu tokovnemu impulzu;
• električne napetosti v odvisnosti od časa trajanja prenapetostnega odvodnika;
• preskusa prekinjal;
• vpliva električne napetosti na delovanje pri staranju.
Glede na poseben koncept zasnove in posebno uporabo na nadzemnih prenosnih in razdelilnih vodih so vpeljane nekatere edinstvene zahteve in preskusi, kot so preskus preverjanja za koordinacijo med odpornostjo izolatorjev in zaščitno ravnjo EGLA, prekinjevalni preskus sledilnega toka, preskusi z mehansko obremenitvijo itd.
Ta standard ne zajema zasnov z zunanjim zaporedno vezanim iskriščem EGLA, nameščenim vzporedno z izolatorjem.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60099-8 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 37: Surge

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 60099 applies to the externally gapped line arrester (EGLA)
This type of surge arrester is connected directly in parallel with an insulator assembly. It
comprises a series varistor unit (SVU), made up from non-linear metal-oxide resistors
encapsulated in a polymer or porcelain housing, and an external series gap, see Figure 1.
The purpose of an EGLA is to protect the parallel-connected insulator assembly from
lightning-caused overvoltages. The external series gap, therefore, should spark over only due
to fast-front overvoltages. The gap should withstand all power-frequency and slow-front
overvoltages occurring on the system.
In the event of SVU failure, the external series gap should be able to isolate the SVU from the
system.

SURGE ARRESTERS –

Part 8: Metal-oxide surge arresters with external series gap (EGLA)
for overhead transmission and distribution lines

1 Scope
This part of IEC 60099 covers metal-oxide surge arresters with external series gap (externally
gapped line arresters (EGLA) that are applied on overhead transmission and distribution lines,
only to protect insulator assemblies from lightning-caused flashovers.
This standard defines surge arresters to protect the insulator assembly from lightning-caused
overvoltages only. Therefore, and since the metal-oxide resistors are not permanently
connected to the line, the following items are not considered for this standard:
• switching impulse sparkover voltage;
• residual voltage at steep current and switching current impulse;
• thermal stability;
• long-duration current impulse withstand duty;
• power-frequency voltage versus time characteristics of an arrester;
• disconnector test;
• aging duties by power-frequency voltage.
Considering the particular design concept and the special application o
