HY5W 3 Phase Surge Arrester 21kV 24kV High Voltage Lightning Arrester Composite Metal Oxide Polymer Distribution Overvoltage

Product Description

Application

Zinc oxide arrester has good protection performance. The current flowing through the arrester at normal working voltage is very small (microampere or milliampere) due to the good nonlinear voltage-ampere characteristic of zinc oxide. When the overvoltage action, the resistance dropped sharply, let off the voltage energy, to achieve the effect of protection. The difference between this kind of arrester and traditional arrester is that it has no discharge gap and USES the non-linear characteristic of zinc oxide to discharge and break.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a zinc oxide arrester protect electrical systems?
Zinc oxide arresters exploit the high non-linear characteristics of zinc oxide. At normal working voltages, the leakage current is minimal. When an overvoltage occurs, the resistance drops immediately, allowing the excess electrical energy to discharge safely, thereby protecting downstream equipment.
What is the difference between zinc oxide arresters and traditional arresters?
Traditional arresters typically rely on a physical discharge gap to function. Zinc oxide arresters, however, operate without a discharge gap, utilizing the physical properties of metal oxide to instantly switch between isolating and conducting states.
What are the recommended environmental conditions for operation?
These units perform best under ambient temperatures of -40°C to +40°C, power frequencies of 48Hz to 60Hz, altitudes not exceeding 2000m, and maximum wind speeds under 35m/s. They are rated to withstand earthquake intensities up to 8 degrees.
Which product lines and power accessories do you specialize in?
Our technical scope covers H.V. and L.V. switchgears, PDBs, GIS/SIS, kiosk substations, pad-mounted and oil-immersed transformers, RMUs, and essential protective components like vacuum circuit breakers (VCB) and overload relays.
Can these arresters handle voltages above 36kV?
Yes, as highlighted in the parameter configurations, models like the HY5W-42 and HY10W-42 are specifically rated for up to 42kV installations, ensuring compatibility with standard high-voltage transmission networks.
