Popis: An 800-kV metal oxide transmission line surge arrester (TLA) has been developed, installed and tested on the AEP 765-kV Marysville-Kammer transmission line. The purpose of this TLA is to pave the way for the development, construction and application of an 800-kV SF/sub 6/ dead tank circuit breaker without closing resistors and free standing current transformers at American Electric Power's (AEP) 800-kV Orange station. Eight hundred kilovolts is the maximum design operating voltage, and 765 kV is the nominal operating voltage. Successful field test results of the TLAs ability to limit switching overvoltages emanating from circuit breaker operation to below the transmission line switching withstand are given. In addition, successful test results of the 800-kV dead tank circuit breaker design dielectric test are given in this paper.
