The application of gapped silicon-carbide surge arresters to safeguard electric power equipment against the hazards of abnormally high voltage surges of various origins is addressed. General considerations with respect to overvoltages, valve arresters, protective levels, insulation-withstand, separation effects, and insulation coordination are discussed. Procedures for the protection of stations and distribution systems are provided.

Guide for the Application of Metal-Oxide Surge Arresters for Alternating-Current Systems Over 1000 Volts
This guide covers the application of metal-oxide surge arresters (see IEEE Std C62.11-2020) to safeguard electric power equipment against the hazards of abnormally high voltage surges of various origins. Step-by-step directions toward proper solutions for various applications are provided. In many cases, the prescribed steps are adequate. More complex and special situations requiring study by experienced engineers are described and specific solutions are included. These procedures are based on theoretical studies, test results, and experience. This application guide does not cover the application of low-voltage surge protective devices below 1000 V alternating current (ac), except when applied to the secondary of a transformer.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
C62.22-1991
IEEE Guide for the Application of Metal Oxide Surge Arresters for AC Systems
The application of metal-oxide surge arresters to safeguard electric power equipment against the hazards of abnormally high voltage surges of various origins is covered. Step-by step directions toward proper solutions of various applications are provided. In many cases, the prescribed steps are adequate. More complex and special solutions requiring study by experienced engineers are described, but specific solutions are not always given. The procedures are based on theoretical studies, test results, and experience.
C62.22-1997
IEEE Guide for Application of Metal-Oxide Surge Arresters for Alternating-Current Systems
The application of metal-oxide surge arresters to safeguard electric power equipment against the hazards of abnormally high voltage surges of various origins is covered. Step-by- step directions toward proper solutions of various applications are provided. In many cases, the prescribed steps are adequate. More complex and special solutions requiring study by experi- enced engineers are described, but specific solutions are not always given. The procedures are based on theoretical studies, test results, and experience.
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
C62.22-2009
IEEE Guide for the Application of Metal-Oxide Surge Arresters for Alternating-Current Systems
This guide covers the application of metal-oxide surge arresters to safeguard electric power equipment, with a nominal operating voltage 1000 V and above, against the hazards of abnormally high voltage surges of various origins. This guide provides information on the characteristics of metal-oxide surge arresters, and the protection of substation equipment, distribution systems, overhead lines, and large electrical machines.
C62.22a-2013
IEEE Guide for the Application of Metal-Oxide Surge Arresters for Alternating-Current Systems Amendment 1: Supplement to Consider Energy Handling Capabilities
New tests added to IEEE Std C62.11TM-2012: a switching surge energy capability test (thermal energy rating), a repetitive single-impulse withstand capability test, and the inductive voltage drop effects of the internal arrester metal current carrying components determined during the front-of-wave (FOW) discharge voltage test are included in this amendment to IEEE Std C62.22TM-2009.
