“…With 2.5 m, MicroBooNE also has a longer drift length than previous liquid argon neutrino detectors, addressing the challenge of applying high electric potential to obtain the required electric drift field [12]. In order to protect components in the case of electric breakdown, surge protection devices were implemented in MicroBooNE, the first for a LArTPC [14,15]. A new technology in use is also the laser system for the calibration of the electric field in MicroBooNE [16].…”

The MicroBooNE experiment is the first of three detectors of the Fermilab short-baseline neutrino program that started operation in the Booster Neutrino Beamline in October 2015 [1]. When completed, the three-detector lineup will explore short-baseline neutrino oscillations and will be sensitive to sterile neutrino scenarios. MicroBooNE in itself is now starting its own physics program, with the measurement of neutrino-argon cross sections in the ⇠ 1 GeV range being one of its main physics goals. These proceedings describe the status of the detector, the start of operation, and the automated reconstruction of the first neutrino events observed with MicroBooNE. Prospects for upcoming cross section measurements are also given.

The second workshop to discuss the development of liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) in the United States was held at Fermilab on July 8-9, 2014. The workshop was organized under the auspices of the Coordinating Panel for Advanced Detectors, a body that was initiated by the American Physical Society Division of Particles and Fields. All presentations at the workshop were made in six topical plenary sessions: i) Argon Purity and Cryogenics, ii) TPC and High Voltage, iii) Electronics, Data Acquisition and Triggering, iv) Scintillation Light Detection, v) Calibration and Test Beams, and vi) Software. This document summarizes the current efforts in each of these areas. It primarily focuses on the work in the US, but also highlights work done elsewhere in the world.

“…The application of SPDs can reduce the local over voltages to acceptable limits. Surge arresters are to ensure appropriate insulation coordination and to protect valuable equipment from lightning and switching over voltages [41][42][43][44].…”

Due to important consideration of protection against lightning surge on electrical, electronic and telecommunication equipment, it was necessary to carry out a special study to look at the performance of protective devices. The study was testing performance of arresters on low voltage system. The activity was testing of arresters using steady state and impulse voltages. The arresters consisted of gas tube, zener diode, varistor and spark gap arresters, then it was made a cascade circuit between the varistor and spark gap arresters with a decoupling element. The decoupling elements were used air, iron and ferrite. The test yielded data of current and voltage on the tables and oscilloscope waveforms. The arresters had cut voltages early different from each other, namely the gas tube, zener diode, spark gap and varistor arresters were at the voltages of 500 V, 250 V, 1,000 V and 565 V respectively. The iron core decoupling element cascade circuit had the least oscillation among remaining cores.
