  The Voltage-Current (V-I) Characteristic of an arrester is one of its most important parameters. With a quick look at an arrester's (or disk's) characteristic curve one can tell the rating of the arrester, the protective level of the arrester, and indirectly how well it canwill do during a temporary overvoltage. This ArresterFacts explains all of this in detail.
  The arrester disconnector is a very important component of arresters used on grounded AC systems to remove the arrester from the system in case of failure.
  Overview of the effect switching surges have on the power systems and how arresters mitigate that effect.
  Overview of the effect lightning surges have on the power systems and how arresters mitigate that effectOutlines the parameters to look for in a good quality animal guard for arresters.
  Highly technical overview of how to measure the discharge voltage of an arrester with a current impulse that crests in 1us	
  To determine the real value of an arrester we cannot simply look at its cost, but rather we must look at the effect on a system in its absence.
