Drop Out Type Surge Arrester

The Drop Out Type Surge Arrester is an innovative and essential lightning protection device designed to safeguard electrical distribution systems. This type of surge arrester is distinctively installed on a drop-out mechanism, following the modification of a distribution type zinc oxide arrester.

Product Description

The Drop Out Type Surge Arrester is a kind of lightning arrester, which is skillfully installed on the drop type mechanism after refitting the distribution type zinc oxide arrester.When the power is not cut, the arrester can be tested, repaired and replaced with the help of load-break operating hook stick tool. It not only ensures the smooth running of the line, but also reduces the working intensity and time of the power maintainers. Especially suitable for unsuitable places such as communication, airport, station, hospital, etc.

Condition of Use
Ambient air temperature within the range of -40℃ to +40℃;

Altitude above sealevelnot exceeding 2,000m;

Frequencyofthe A.C.power supply being 50Hz or 60Hz;

Power frequency voltage applied continuously between theterminals of the arrester not exceeding its continuous operating voltage;

Maximum wind speed not exceeding 35m/s;

The earthquake intensity not exceeding 7 degrees.

Installation Instructions for Dropout Surge Arresters

  1. Rated Voltage Compliance: Ensure that the arrester is installed within the rated voltage of both the arrester system and the equipment line.
  2. Pre-Installation Check: Verify the tightness and flexibility between the arrester and the dropout mechanism to ensure good contact.
  3. Adjustment Method: Adjust the arrester by turning it on the copper contact (with pull ring). Ensure the sub-gate tension is between 6-10 kg. Keep the copper contact pull ring facing outward, secure the lower nut, and turn.
  4. Installation Angle: Install the arrester at a 15-30 degree angle to the vertical line. Maintain a minimum distance of 200mm from the vertical line and at least 350mm between phases.
  5. Terminal Connection: Ensure the high-voltage line is connected to the upper terminal of the dropout body. The lower terminal must be securely connected and not reversed.
  6. Operational Notes: Pay attention to power distribution arrester notes before and after putting the arrester into operation.
  7. Maintenance and Replacement: If the arrester needs repair or replacement, it can be done without interrupting the power supply. Use an insulating gate lock bar on the arrester unit for safe operation, similar to replacing a dropout fuse tube.
  8. Post-Fall Operation: After the arrester unit falls, replace it to restore system protection. The dropout mechanism itself does not need replacement. Our company provides corresponding arrester units for such replacements.

Product Advantages

  • 1. Unmatched Safety
    Our Drop Out Type Surge Arresters are designed with safety as a top priority. Technicians can replace the arrester from the ground using a hotstick or telescopic stick, minimizing the risk of injury during maintenance.
  • 2. Reliable Visual Indication
    Our Drop Out Type Surge Arresters provide a clear visual indication of failure. The arrester will only drop out when it has expired, ensuring that it doesn’t drop out during every lightning storm, thereby reducing unnecessary replacements.
  • 3. Simplified Fault Detection
    In the event of a malfunction or sensitive earth fault (SEF), our Drop Out Type Surge Arresters can be easily and safely removed using a hotstick or telescopic stick. This feature significantly reduces the time and effort required for fault finding and maintenance.
  • 4. Enhanced Customer Service
    Improve response times and customer satisfaction with our Drop Out Type Surge Arrester. The design allows for quick and easy replacement, reducing the replacement time from minutes or hours to just seconds.
  • 5. Increased Replacement Probability
    Studies show that Drop Out Type Surge Arresters are four times more likely to be replaced compared to fixed types. This higher replacement probability ensures that your system remains protected and operational with minimal downtime.

Application Places

Drop Out Type Surge Arresters, also known as drop-out metal oxide surge arresters, are designed to provide high levels of protection in electrical systems. Here are some applications of Drop Out Type Surge Arresters:

  1. Power Transmission and Substation Systems: They are applicable to power transmission and substation systems of 35kV and below, offering reliable protection against overvoltages caused by lightning strokes and switching operations.
  2. Oilfields and Industrial Applications: Widely used in oilfields such as Daqing, Changqing, Dagang, Shengli, and Jianghan, as well as in transmission and distribution systems, these arresters are favored for their reliable protection performance and ease of maintenance and overhaul.
  3. Prevention of System Faults: The arresters quickly turn and fall down to stop operation in case of a single-phase fault, preventing further damage to the system.
