When it comes to safeguarding electrical systems, a surge arrester is an essential component for both industrial and commercial environments. Designed with precision, this surge arrester offers robust protection against voltage spikes, ensuring the longevity and reliability of your equipment.
Operating at a rated voltage of 0.56 kV and supporting a rated current of 10 kA, this device is engineered to handle substantial electrical loads effectively. Its capability to manage lightning impulse currents up to 1.6 kA further enhances its protective function, making it suitable for areas prone to frequent lightning strikes or power surges.
The construction material plays a significant role in the durability and performance of any surge arrester. This model features moulded silicone housing, known for its excellent insulating properties and resistance to environmental stresses such as UV radiation and moisture ingress. This makes it particularly well-suited for outdoor installations where exposure to harsh weather conditions is inevitable.
Complying with IEC 60099-4 standards, this surge arrester meets stringent international safety and performance criteria, providing peace of mind that it will perform reliably under pressure. The grey color adds a neutral aesthetic that blends seamlessly into various installation environments without drawing unwanted attention.
Temperature resilience is another critical factor in selecting the right surge arrester. With an ambient temperature range from -60°C up to 40°C, this product ensures consistent operation across extreme climates—from frigid cold conditions typical of certain Australian regions during winter months to warmer coastal areas.
Installation ease is facilitated by a recommended tightening torque of 50 N-m, ensuring secure connections without risking damage due to over-tightening or loose fittings. In addition, the rated short circuit current capacity stands at an impressive 20 kA—demonstrating its ability to withstand sudden high-energy fault currents while maintaining system integrity.
In summary, whether you're looking at deploying this surge arrester in industrial plants or commercial facilities across Australia’s diverse landscapes, you can count on its reliable performance backed by rigorous standards compliance and robust material construction.
