Application

The XPS polymer arrester has been verifi ed to meet sta-tion class requirements of ANSI C62.11 (IEEE Standard for Metal-Oxide Surge Arresters for AC Power Circuits). The XPS arrester is designed to meet the following performance data:

Protection of switchgear, transformers and other equipment in high voltage systems against atmospheric and switching overvoltages. For use when requirements of lightning in-tensity, energy capability and pollution are moderate.

Superior design where low weight, reduced clearances, fl exible mounting, and shatter-proof housing is required.

Direct-Molded Construction

ABB’s type XPS surge arrester consists of high performance metal oxide disks molded in a shat-ter-proof polymer housing. The XPS now has a new construction to enhance overall lifetime performance.

The metal oxide disks are enclosed in a support as-sembly consisting of reinforced epoxy/fi berglass loops connecting the upper and lower aluminum end pieces. The silicone polymer material is then molded directly to the metal oxide loop assembly eliminating any air pockets which could cause moisture ingress over time.

Each arrester is furnished with a mounting base for an 8.75 in / 222 mm to 10.0 in / 254 mm diameter bolt circle along with 4-hole NEMA pad, line and ground terminals for electrical connections.

100% Silicone Based Housing

The silicone rubber housing features high tracking and arc resistance, excellent hydrophobic properties, and resistance to weathering, UV radiation and pollution.

Benefi ts

The incorporation of polymer material in a station class surge arrester has resulted in many additional advantages. Among these are:

Reduced Electrical ClearancePolymer construction has resulted in much smaller housing dimensions in comparison with porcelain units of the same voltage rating. This size reduction enables effi cient use of space for switchgear enclosures, mobile substations and other applications where space restrictions are present.

LightweightThe type XPS arrester is less than 50 percent the weight of its porcelain counterpart, which results in easier handling and installation.

Damage ResistantPolymer construction reduces possible shipping and handling damage, as well as, damage due to vandalism.

Safety

Shatter-resistant construction provides greater protection for personnel, as well as, nearby equipment.
