discharge counter or surge counter/monitor Explanation: Discharge Counter The Discharge Counter is a device used to count and record the number of discharges that an arrester has seen. This is connected in series between the surge arrester and the ground connection. A capacitor Inductor circuit is used to count the number of discharges. A non-resetable electromechanical counter is used to count and register the number of discharges. Applications Used with Surge Arresters to count the number of discharges and monitor the health of the arrester Advantages Insensitive to the shape of the wave of discharge current Anti-corrosive housing and connecting terminals Performance not affected by outside environment In-built leakage current monitoring device Reliability and Security of operation No external source required Simplicity of fixing/mounting Maintenance free lIP-67 protection Example sentence(s):
