In surge arrester, leakage current commonly flows across the arrester under normal condition. In this work, the leakage current of 11kV surge arrester was simulated in finite element method (FEM). The influence of insulator shed widths, housing materials and sizes of ZnO in an 11kV ZnO surge arrester design on its leakage current was studied.
