Doble Engineering LCM 500 a safe measuring device

Why the Doble LCM 500 is a safe measuring Device for Surge Arrestor ? The LCM 500 by Doble is an equipment used to perform checks on the surge arrester component of a power transformer. The surge arrester’s purpose in a transformer is to protect it from possible damages due to lightning or power surge. When lightning occurs, a high voltage is introduced into the transformer’s electrical system which is above its specified operational voltage. This high voltage can cause damages to an electrical system that is not fitted with a surge arrester. This is because the surge arrester, instead of absorbing the high voltage passing through it, sends it to the ground. This is made possible by the Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) found in the surge arrester. The MOV works as a semiconductor which is very sensitive to the voltage going across. At normal voltages, current do not pass through it but at high voltages, it allows current pass through it. For its test, the LCM 500 works by measuring the ...
