Surge arrester for power distributionDistribution Class Surge Arresters (ZL-8A Series)
Zinc oxide surge arresters for 6kV distribution systems with a nominal discharge current of 2500 A
Product Features
A practical simple single gap and high performance zinc oxide blocks ensure that this surge arrester is compact and light weight. A reduced discharge voltage has improved the protective performance. Hardly any change in performance of the gap due to contamination, it maintains its stable operatimg performance, protecting distribution equipment from surge voltages.
- Excellent protective performance
- Managing multiple lightning surges and frequent surges
- Excellent resistance to contamination
- Compact, lightweight, and easy to handle
Applications and Solutions
It is an arrester for distribution substation for 6 kV system of nominal discharge current 2,500 A.
