This paper presents the voltage distribution study of zno surge arrester. Based of the idea of using theFEMM 4.2 software whci work on the environment of finite element method. Here FEMM 4.2 software package is usedfor analyze voltage distribution along the zno varistor column of the surge arrester. In this paper is effect of grading ringon distribution of voltage along the zno column of 230 kv surge arrester is investigated using the finite element methodbased software. In a zno oxide surge arrester, the voltage distribution, between the high voltage and ground connections, is notuniform along the discs column. So by the use of grading ring voltage distribution is made uniform. Simulation results shows thatusing grading voltage distribution can be made as uniform as possible.
