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.

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.

What should be noted when selecting and installing GIS voltage transformers?
In power systems, voltage transformers in GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) play a crucial role in voltage measurement and relay protection. Selecting the right model and installing it correctly is vital for the stable operation of the equipment. The following points should be noted regarding selection and installation.I. Key Points for Selection(1) Matching Rated ParametersVoltage Level: It must be consistent with the voltage level of the GIS system. For example, 110kV and 220kV GIS systems requir

1. Accident Overview1.1 Structure and Connection of 35kV GIS Switchgear Voltage TransformerThe ZX2 gas-insulated double-bus switchgear, manufactured in March 2011 and officially put into operation in July 2012, is configured with two groups of bus voltage transformers (PTs) for each bus section. The two PT groups of the same bus section are designed in one switchgear cabinet with a width of 600 mm. The three-phase PTs are arranged in a triangular formation at the bottom of the cabinet.The PTs ar

What Are the Steps for Error Testing GIS Voltage Transformers?
Hey everyone, I'm Oliver, and I've been working with current transformers (CTs) and voltage transformers (VTs) for 8 years.From assisting my mentor on site to leading high-voltage testing teams and conducting error calibrations independently, I’ve dealt with all kinds of instrument transformers — especially those used in GIS systems. The error test for voltage transformers is something I perform regularly.A few days ago, a friend asked me:“Oliver, how exactly do you perform an

Operation Method for PT Resonance in 500kV GIS Switching Station
1. Causes of ResonanceA 500kV GIS switching station is designed following the principle of “primary equipment intelligence and secondary equipment networking”. The PT high - voltage side has no disconnector and is directly connected to the bus GIS. Through the analysis of fault recording diagrams, when the 5021 circuit breaker opens, the fracture capacitance and PT form a series circuit. Moreover, the bus voltage, after being paralleled by the PT inductance, shows inductive character
