The article presents na issue of determinating an optimal distance between varistors located on 3 kV DC catenary. Line attenuation as a function of distance has been determined during preliminary tests for the following measurement configurations: catenary network unloaded (open), catenary network charged by a value of resistance close to the value of wave impedance of the catenary network test section, catenary network charged by a low voltage varistor. The results allowed to estimate the optimal distance between the varistors and they were verified on the catenary network on Żmigród Test Ring using a surge generator with an amplitude of about 15 kV and varistors designed to work in railway enviroment. The methodology and results of these studies were presented and analyzed in this paper.

Impulse Characteristics

The possibility of the classical response rate engineering and the long-term deconditioning of the gas-filled surge arresters is considered in this paper. The obtained results are compared with the same results obtained with the gas-filled surge arrester with application of an alpha radioactive source. The work is of an experimental nature. Experiments were performed on the multipurpose gas-filled surge arrester model under well-controlled conditions. The measurement uncertainty of the experimental procedure was less than 8 %. The results were processed by statistical data processing software. To draw impulse characteristics, the law of constancy of surfaces below the impulse voltage in the volt-second area, was used.
