Electrical Symbol and Function of Surge Arrester

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Overvoltage Protection: Designed to safeguard electrical systems against damaging surges caused by lightning strikes or switching operations by diverting excess voltage to ground.
  • Zinc Oxide Technology: Utilizes zinc oxide-based components for efficient energy absorption and rapid response to transient overvoltages, ensuring prolonged equipment longevity.

Key features

  • 1. Zinc Oxide Material Technology for Enhanced Protection

    • With zinc oxide as the core material, this surge arrester provides superior protection against overvoltages compared to traditional silicon carbide models*. The nonlinear voltage-current characteristics of zinc oxide ensure rapid response and effective clamping of transient surges, safeguarding electrical systems in harsh environments.

  • 2. Cylindrical Design with Concentric Rings for Optimal Electrical Stress Distribution

    • The concentric ring design minimizes flashover risks by evenly distributing electrical stress, outperforming flat or non-patterned arrester designs*. This ensures reliable operation under high-voltage conditions and extends the product’s lifespan in outdoor or industrial settings.

  • 3. High-Voltage Compatibility for Diverse Applications

    • With a clamping voltage rating up to 150% of nominal system voltage, this arrester can handle extreme overvoltages caused by lightning or switching—20% more effectively than basic surge protectors*. It is compatible with high-voltage systems up to 35kV, making it ideal for both commercial grids and industrial installations.

  • 4. Adaptable for Residential and Commercial Use

    • Designed for seamless integration into power distribution networks, this surge arrester balances compact size with robust performance. Its red ceramic body and metallic base ensure visibility and durability, enabling reliable protection in both residential substations and large-scale commercial facilities.

  • 5. Compliance with International Safety and Environmental Standards

    • Manufactured to meet IEC 60099-4 and ISO 14001 certifications*, this surge arrester ensures safety and eco-friendly material usage. The zinc oxide core reduces environmental impact compared to lead-based alternatives, aligning with global sustainability initiatives.
