Surge protective devices for transformers (ZL-DQ)

Surge arrester for power distributionSurge protective devices (ZL-DN, ZL-DQ)

Built-in type surge protective devices for 6kV distribution switches and transformers

Product Features

These surge protective devices are surge arresters to be mounted inside switches and transformers. These devices are directly connected across the part to be protected, and therefore the protective performance is very high. These devices are very compact as they are mounted inside the equipment and there is no risk of contamination. These features have been only realized with highly reliable Meidensha zinc oxide blocks.

  • Excellent protective performance
  • Zinc oxide blocks can be used in oil and SF6 gas as well as sealed-air
  • Highly reliable zinc oxide blocks
  • Very compact and easy to handle

Applications and Solutions

These surge protective devices are surge arresters to be mounted inside switches and transformers.
