Popis: Technology of Metal Oxide Surge Arrester without gaps (MOSA) was first developed in Japan and improved. Original ZnO varistor discovery was made by Matsushita Electric Industry Co., Ltd. Meidensha Corporation applied it to high voltage systems in 1975 as a reliable lightning protection equipment. The product shifted to MOSAs from conventional gapped surge arresters (GSAs) 38 years ago, as GSAs had many gap-related problems. This paper shows the history of the development of MOSAs and also shows the author's involvement in development of various type and class gapless surge arresters and expanding them to domestic as well as overseas electric power systems through efforts of standardization.
