Power Transmission & Distribution (T&D) SystemsZinc oxide blocks for various surge arresters
Meiden embarked on the development of zinc oxide (ZnO) blocks for surge arresters in 1972 as a pioneer. Since then, over 20 million pieces have been delivered to all over the world. Backed up with experiences, we offer high-quality high-performance blocks in different sizes for light duty to heavy duty applications, AC to DC applications, and different installation environments.
Product Features
