Metal Oxide Surge Arrester (MOSA) does not require any ordinary maintenance. But MOSA is get affected from ageing due to the effect of discharging impulse currents, uneven heating and internal partial discharges. A leading cause of deterioration is ingress of moisture. The degradation of MOSA also correlated with the ageing level of the arrester. This is called degradation under surge. The ageing level with the degradation of MO surge arrester or the leakage current of the surge arrester is related to each other. The leakage current is directly proportional to the ageing level. If the ageing level is raise, the leakage current also will increase. So, various methods for determination of the condition of ZnO surge arrester by means of measurement of the arrester leakage current are discussed. A MSCM method, which is based on leakage current of the surge arrester presented. The measuring instrument Leakage Current Monitor is also discussed.
