If contingenc/ conditions are important" then the pro#athe contingencies should #e e'aluated to arri'appropriate incoming surge.

• To determine the arrester rating" the rules are*C82 must #e equal to or greater than the ma-imum line%to%ground s/stem '

Switching surge energ/ discharged #/ the arrester must #e less than the ene

The temporar/ o'er'oltage across the arrester must #e less than the arrestercapa#ilit/.

The continuous am#ient temperature must #e less than 69:C and the tempormust #e less than $97:C.

Altitude limit; $<99 m 3,999 feet5. The pressure relief current must #e equal to or greater than the fault current.
