Description
Design The active components of the arrester are metal oxide resistors. They are arranged in a stack and hermetically protected against environmental influences by means of a directly mounted silicon enclo-sure. The mechanical strength is attained by glass-fibre-reinforced polymer rods which tightly enclose and compress the resistor stack. Thanks to its hydrophobic properties, the silicon enclosure minimises electrical discharges on the enclosure surface and thus ensures particularly good operating character-istics, even under conditions of heavy pollution. The flanges are made of a lightweight metal alloy suitable for use outdoors and directly connected with the silicon enclosure. The MO resistors are tightly enclosed by the GRP rods (as if in a cage). In the event of resistor over-load – an extremely unlikely case, but which cannot entirely be ruled out – the resultant arc produces no overpressure, since the resistors are not enclosed by a sealed, mechanically rigid casing. The arc escapes immediately through the silicon enclosure, without any abrupt rupturing of the mechanical load bearing enclosing structure. At the same time the MO resistors are held largely in place by a con-siderable number of GRP rods. The risk of parts flying off is therefore minimised. The arresters are, where necessary, equipped with control fittings and / or shields.
Mode of operation Metal oxide resistors are markedly non-linear - in other words, they have a strongly curved current-voltage characteristic, which means that with the continuous voltage obtaining under normal circum-stances only the so-called leakage current of just a few milliamps will be flowing. In the case of overvoltages due to lightning or to switching operations, the resistors become conduc-tive (ohm range) thereby allowing a discharge current to flow to ground and the overvoltage to be re-duced to the value of the voltage drop at the arrester (“discharge voltage”). Here the discharge cur-rents may range up to 2 kA in the case of switching surges and 1 - 10 - 20 kA in the case of lightning surges.

Transportation and storage
The units of the surge arrester are packed in boxes or crates in the factory in accordance not only with the stresses and climatic conditions they will encounter during shipping. but also with the requirements of the customer. The packaging will have the appropriate transportation and storage labelling as well as instructions on proper handling. The consignment should be inspected immediately after receipt for signs of damage. If damage is found the carrier should be informed without delay. Loose parts packed with the consignment should be checked against the dispatch note to make sure none is missing. This means that all shipping con-tainers will need to be opened. If the items are to be stored for extended periods, we recommend to leave the units and accessories in their shipping containers. All screws, terminals and supplementary equipment (tell-tale spark gap, surge counter) required for assembly and installation are supplied in an accessory pack.
Note:
To avoid damaging of insulators, do not remove the assembly and shipping protector until assembly and installation has been completed.

Place of installation The range of protection offered by the arresters is restricted, which is why the surge arrester should be installed as close as possible to that part of the system being protected. The distance between grounded or live components and adjacent arresters or their control components should be selected on the basis of the relevant regulations.
Note
The arresters must be installed or suspended vertically. If they need to be installed in a non-vertical position, you should first contact the manufacturer.
Mounting the components The individual components for mounting are shown in the drawing in [=> on page 15].

suspended installation The top and bottom plates may have to be exchanged together with their associated bolts and insulat-ing parts to make it into a hanging version [Fig. 1.], [Fig. 17.]. In other respects, the arrester must be installed at site in accordance with local conditions.
Grounding The protective effect of surge arresters will be negatively affected with increasing length of the ground wire, since a voltage drop occurs along the ground wire during a surge event. Thus, the ground wire should connect the ground terminal of the arrester to the substation grounding system using the short-est and most direct path. The length of the ground wire, if possible, should not exceed 1 m for medium voltage surge arresters and 2 m for high voltage surge arresters. Because of the low currents in op-eration (mA range) or the short duration of the currents (ms range) in a surge event, we recommend a cross section of 35 mm² , but at least 16 mm² for the ground wire. Even if the arrester is monitored by devices connected in series with the ground wire, e.g. by control spark gap 3EX6 040 or surge counter 3EX5 030/050, the ground wire should be as short as possible and loops should be avoided. If monitoring devices are to be installed at a larger distance from the arrester, it is recommended to use devices with separate sensors and display units, such as the surge monitor with sensor unit 3EX5 060 and display unit 3EX5 062. If monitoring devices are connected to the ground wire, the conductor between the earth terminal of the monitoring device and the grounding system of the substation must protected against contact. For installation of ground wire and monitoring devices the requirements of the corresponding national or international standards are to be applied. The scope of delivery of the arresters and monitoring devices contains no ground wire.
Standing or suspended installation: Bolt the ground wire to one of the four M10 base flanges in accordance with [13a. Fig. 17.].
Isolated installation Bolt the ground wire to the M12 ground bolt in accordance with [14, Fig. 17.].
Terminal
Attention!
High-voltage connections with tube conductors should be flexible in order to prevent exertion of any inadmissible mechanical forces on the surge arrester.

Maintenance
Warning
Before any work starts: switch off and isolate secure against reclosing verify that equipment is dead earth and short circuit the equipment cover or fence off nearby live parts
Death, severe injury and considerable damage to property and environmental damage may result if the safety instructions are not followed.
Confirm that these safety measures have been carried out. For technical reasons the silicone sheds do not need cleaning. Should they nonetheless be cleaned, only use clear or soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge.
Important
Do not use solvents or abrasive or scratching materials.
Regular maintenance of the arresters is not necessary. The only monitoring required is to: – Read the operations counter – Check the tell-tale spark gap – Check the arrester for any overloads (blackening or traces of burning at the blow-out aperture of
the flange). In such a case you will need to replace the arrester
Disposal arrester and arrester accessories
Surge arresters and the accessories are an environmentally compatible product. Environmentally acceptable disposal of the surge arresters and the accessories is possible in line with current legisla-tion. The following materials have been used to make up the device: Steel, aluminium, glass-fibre-reinforced plastics, electronic components and silicon rubber (VMQ), ceramics (metal oxide). According to current waste disposal techniques, arresters type 3EL2 cannot be used for neither mate-rial nor thermal purposes.. Seeing as the arresters do not contain any dangerous substances, they can be disposed of along with household waste. In as-supplied-by-Siemens state, the device incorporates no hazardous substances in the sense of the pertinent regulations in Germany. If the device is to be operated outside Germany, the locally ap-plicable laws and regulations must be followed. Local customer support offices will be able to answer any questions concerning disposal.
