ABB MV & HV Electrical Equipment
ABB Surge Arresters
Safe & Secure HV Distribution Systems
AC & DC Surge Arresters & Protection for High Voltage Cable Networks
ABB offer an extensive range of medium voltage AC and DC metal oxide surge arresters for overvoltage protection of power distribution systems. ABB MV surge arresters protect HV transformers, switchgear, motors, cables, overhead lines, generators and capacitor banks - this includes 6.6kV, 11kV, 15kV 24kV and 33kV surge arresters. Designed and tested according to IEC 60099-4.

ABB high voltage metal-oxide surge arresters are renowned for their high performance in both indoor and outdoor installations. ABB surge arresters are produced with a polymer housing made of silicone. The silicone housing is directly moulded onto the active part of the surge arrester, thus avoiding any air volume or air gap inside the housing. The surge arresters are extremely resistant against overload, thus preventing explosions and subsequential damage to other high voltage electrical equipment in the area. In comparison to other polymeric materials, silicone has the highest resistance against pollution. The silicone used by ABB has proven itself under severe environmental conditions like water, salt fog, sand, industrial pollution as well as UV radiation.
