Description

Porcelain Surge Arrester is a vital protective device designed to limit voltage on electrical equipment by effectively discharging or bypassing surge currents. This ensures the continued flow of current to ground is prevented, safeguarding your valuable equipment. Adhering to ANSI standard C62.11, this surge arrester is engineered to repeat its protective functions reliably. While it does not absorb lightning, it effectively diverts lightning strikes, limiting voltage and providing robust protection for equipment installed in parallel.

Surge arresters are versatile and can be used in various applications, from protecting a family home to securing large utility substations. They are typically installed on circuit breakers within residential homes, pad-mounted transformers, pole-mounted transformers, and substations, ensuring safety across different environments.

Standards for surge arresters are outlined by IEEE standard C62.11 and IEC standard 60099-4, ensuring high-quality performance and reliability.
