High Voltage DC Surge Arresters for Railway Industry

ABB Medium Voltage MV Surge Arresters​

High Voltage DC Surge Arresters for Railway Industry

 

High Voltage DC Surge Arresters provide protection of DC rail power networks against both multiple atmospheric and switching overvoltages as well as Very Fast Transients (VFT). ABB offer a wide selection od surge arresters for railway facilities, which have different voltage networks and special demands. Railway facilities are serviced with both AC and DC arrester types. 

ABB POLIM surge arresters are suitable for the protection of high voltage railway networks, indoor and outdoor installations. 

ABB POLIM Surge Arrester Advantages:

• Low residual voltage
• Long protection distance
• High energy input capacity
• Stable U-I characteristics even after multiple strokes
• Proof against ageing
• Explosion and shatter-resistant design
• Pollution resistant and UV-stable
• Housing resistant to rough handling
• Maintenance free
• Stable against shock and vibration
• High mechanical resistance
