10 kV Zinc Oxide Surge Arrester - Reliable Overvoltage Protection from China Suppliers and Factory
The 10 kV zinc oxide arrester (model 17/50) is a core protective device designed to shield various electrical systems from overvoltage damage. As a professional overvoltage protector, it plays a crucial role in ensuring the service life and operational reliability of key electrical equipment such as transformers, switches, capacitors, and motors.
Its core function is to mitigate the risks posed by atmospheric overvoltage (e.g., caused by lightning strikes), operating overvoltage, and power frequency transient overvoltage (resulting from power system operational anomalies). By participating in the insulation coordination of electrical systems, this arrester effectively maintains the integrity and stable operation of power systems, railway electrification systems, and communication networks.
The core component is zinc oxide resistor sheet, which has outstanding nonlinear volt-ampere characteristics, laying a solid foundation for reliable operation.
Under normal conditions, the operating current is controlled at microampere level, ensuring no interference with the efficient operation of connected electrical equipment.
It responds instantly to overvoltage. The current surges to thousands of amperes quickly, enabling rapid conduction and timely dissipation of overvoltage energy.
It effectively suppresses overvoltage in time, avoiding damage to electrical equipment and ensuring the safe operation of the electrical system.
Based on its excellent overvoltage protection performance and compatibility with various electrical systems, the 10 kV zinc oxide arrester (model 17/50) is widely applicable to multiple fields:
- Power Systems: Installed in substations, distribution networks, and power transmission lines to protect transformers, switches, mutual inductors, generators, and power cables.
- Railway Electrification Systems: Used to safeguard the electrical components of railway power supply lines and locomotives, ensuring the stable operation of railway transportation.
- Communication Systems: Protects communication power supply equipment and signal transmission equipment from overvoltage damage, maintaining the smoothness of communication networks.
- Industrial & Mining Enterprises: Suitable for industrial and mining enterprises, high-rise buildings, and other places with 10 kV electrical systems that require overvoltage protection.
The primary function of this arrester is to protect electrical equipment from overvoltage damage, including atmospheric overvoltage caused by lightning strikes, operating overvoltage, and power frequency transient overvoltage. It ensures the safe and stable operation of power systems, railway electrification systems, and communication networks.
Zinc oxide resistor sheets possess outstanding nonlinear volt-ampere characteristics. Under normal operating conditions, they maintain a very low microampere-level current, causing no interference to the system. When overvoltage occurs, they respond instantly and allow thousands of amperes to pass, effectively dissipating overvoltage energy and protecting connected equipment.
This arrester is capable of protecting a wide range of electrical equipment, including transformers, switches, capacitors, motors, mutual inductors, generators, power cables, communication power supply equipment, and signal transmission equipment — all operating within 10 kV electrical systems.
Yes. The arrester is specifically applicable to railway electrification systems. It safeguards the electrical components of railway power supply lines and locomotives, ensuring stable and reliable railway transportation operations even under adverse overvoltage conditions.
Absolutely. The 10 kV zinc oxide arrester (model 17/50) is suitable for industrial and mining enterprises, high-rise buildings, and any other facility operating with a 10 kV electrical system that requires reliable overvoltage protection.
By actively participating in the insulation coordination of electrical systems, the arrester ensures that overvoltage levels are kept within safe limits for all connected equipment. This coordination process helps maintain the overall integrity of the power system, reduces the risk of insulation breakdown, and extends the service life of critical electrical components.
