Product Detail

Description:

Zinc oxide surge arrester is a lightning protection device with superior protection performance, light weight, pollution resistance and stable performance. It mainly uses the good non-linear volt-ampere characteristics of zinc oxide to make the current flowing through the surge arrester at normal working voltage very small (microamp or milliampere level); when the overvoltage acts, the resistance drops sharply,venting the overvoltage Energy to achieve the effect of protection. The difference between this kind of lightning arrester and the traditional lightning arrester is that it has no discharge gap, and uses the non-linear characteristics of zinc oxide to discharge and break.

General :

  • Ratings:0.22-500KV (porcelain),0.22-220KV(composite)

  • Application.for protection of power transmission& distribution system from over-voltage.

How does the zinc oxide arrester for lightning protection work?

Normal Operating Voltage:

  • Under normal operating voltage, the zinc oxide varistor discs present a high-resistance state, allowing only a minimal current—typically in the microampere or milliampere range—to flow through the surge arrester. At this time, the arrester acts like an insulator, having virtually no impact on the system's normal operation.

Overvoltage Event:

  • When struck by lightning or when overvoltage occurs in the system (such as from lightning surges or switching overvoltages), the resistance of the zinc oxide varistor discs drops sharply, forming a low-resistance path. This allows the energy generated by the overvoltage to rapidly discharge through the arrester into the ground, thereby limiting the voltage on the protected equipment to within a safe range and effectively protecting the insulation of electrical devices from overvoltage damage.

Post-Overvoltage Recovery:

  • Once the overvoltage event has passed, the zinc oxide varistor discs quickly return to their high-resistance state, restoring normal power supply to the system and preparing for any potential future overvoltage events.

Development of an Outdoor Integrated Low - Voltage Current Transformer
Development of an Outdoor Integrated Low - Voltage Current Transformer
In power grid construction, line losses reflect planning, design, and operation management. They’re key for evaluating power systems. For refined low - voltage transformer area line loss management, accurate line loss counting is critical. So, solidifying basic data, ensuring data accuracy, and proper original data collection matter for analysis. We must also optimize factors affecting collection accuracy, make preventive measures, and boost refined line loss management.1 Current Status of

Fellow electric power calibration workers, you must have encountered this situation: The nameplate of an outdoor current transformer has been tormented by wind, sun, rain, and freezing, to the point where the transformation ratio is indistinguishable! Don't panic, we have a solution - use a current transformer calibrator and through the “transformation ratio trial calibration method”, we can figure out the actual transformation ratio and errors clearly.
