Surge arrester POLIM-K

Silicone-housed surge arrester of IEC class station low (SL) for AC systems up to 52 kV

POLIM-K is a surge arrester with metal-oxide (MO) resistors without spark gaps direct molded in silicone housing, grey color, designed and tested according to IEC 60099-4 and; it fulfills the requirement of ANSI/IEEE C62.11. POLIM-K also has other certifications:

  • Shock and vibration tested according to IEC 61373
  • Fire and smoke behavior tested and classified according to EN 45545-2

It is used for secure protection of medium voltage systems against overvoltages from atmospheric discharges and switching conditions.
 

Applications

  • Medium-voltage distribution transformer
  • Pole mounted medium-voltage transformer
  • Medium-voltage cable and cable termination
  • Air-insulated medium-voltage switchgear and panel
