Description

330 - 1000kV Composite - Housed Metal Oxide Surge Arresters are critical protective devices engineered for ultra - high - voltage (UHV, 330kV to 1000kV) power transmission and transformation systems. Deployed in UHV substations, long - distance transmission lines, and alongside core equipment (e.g., transformers, gas - insulated switchgear), these arresters utilize advanced composite (typically silicone rubber) housings integrated with high - performance metal oxide varistors (MOVs). Their primary role is to suppress transient overvoltages triggered by lightning strikes, switching operations, or grid faults. By diverting excessive surge currents to the ground and maintaining stable voltage levels during normal operation, they safeguard the reliability of 330 - 1000kV UHV power grids, preventing equipment damage, unplanned outages, and ensuring the seamless transmission of large - scale electrical energy.

Features

• UHV Voltage Range Adaptability
  Tailored for 330kV to 1000kV UHV systems, with rated voltages precisely matching the stringent requirements of ultra - high - voltage grids. Efficiently limits overvoltages under extreme surge conditions (e.g., direct lightning strikes on transmission lines), ensuring the stability of large - scale cross - regional power transmission networks.

• Composite Housing Advantages
  The composite (silicone rubber) enclosure delivers multiple benefits: excellent hydrophobicity resists pollution and moisture accumulation, reducing flashover risks in high - humidity or polluted environments (e.g., industrial zones); high mechanical strength withstands strong winds, seismic forces, and thermal cycling in diverse climates; lightweight design simplifies transportation and installation compared to traditional porcelain housings, cutting project costs.

• Modular & Scalable Design
  Available in modular configurations, enabling flexible assembly to meet different UHV grid protection needs (e.g., single - phase or three - phase setups). Scalable for future grid upgrades, ensuring compatibility with evolving 330 - 1000kV system architectures without full replacement.

• Low Maintenance & Long Service Life
  Composite housing resists aging, UV degradation, and chemical corrosion, reducing maintenance frequency. Built - in thermal stability and MOV self - healing capabilities (to an extent) extend the service life to 20 + years, minimizing lifecycle costs and ensuring continuous protection for UHV infrastructure.

• Compliance with International Standards
  Adheres to strict global standards (e.g., IEC 60099 - 4, IEEE C62.11 for UHV arresters). Undergoes rigorous testing for impulse current withstand, thermal cycling, and environmental endurance, guaranteeing safe, reliable operation in harsh UHV grid conditions (e.g., high altitude, extreme temperatures).

• Enhanced Surge Current Handling
  Effectively diverts ultra - large surge currents (from lightning or switching transients) to the ground, limiting overvoltages to levels that protect expensive UHV equipment (e.g., transformers, circuit breakers). Reduces the risk of cascading failures, enhancing the overall resilience of 330 - 1000kV power systems.

• Intelligent Monitoring Compatibility
  Many models support integration with smart grid monitoring systems. Equipped with sensors to track leakage current, temperature, and operating status in real - time. Enables predictive maintenance, allowing utilities to detect potential faults early and avoid unplanned outages in critical UHV networks.
