Abstract

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are addressed in order to estimate the electric field across medium voltage surge arresters, information which is very useful for diagnostic tests and design procedures. Actual input and output data collected from hundreds of measurements carried out in the High Voltage Laboratory of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) are used in the training, validation and testing process. The developed ANN method can be used by laboratories and manufacturing/retail companies dealing with medium voltage surge arresters which either face a lack of suitable measuring equipment or want to compare/verify their own measurements.
