The thermal performance of ZnO surge arresters in polluted conditions were studied in the laboratory and the field. Part I of the paper deals with laboratory test methods such as the salt fog, solid layer, partial wetting, and slurry method. The thermal stress imposed on the arresters by the different test methods in terms of pollution severity and temperature rise, is discussed in this paper.
