Arresters

Distribution Arresters
Durability
Riser Pole and Heavy Duty Distribution Class arresters have been
called upon to serve in the most demanding of applications.
Typically unshielded, overhead lines can produce some of the
most severe lightning surges on the power system. Joslyn
distribution arresters are designed to meet the demands of
protecting underground and overhead equipment, respectively.
Tested in accordance with the latest industry standard,
ANSI/IEEE C62.11-1999 for Heavy Duty metal oxide arresters,
Joslyn distribution arresters withstand the following minimum
design tests:
High Current-Short Duration: 2 current surges of 100kA
magnitude and 4/10 microsecond duration.
Low Current-Long Duration: 20 current surges with 2000
micro-second duration and 400 amperes magnitude
discharged through ZRP and 250 amperes magnitude
discharged through ZHP.
Duty Cycle: 20 discharges with a current surge of 10kA
magnitude and 8/20 microsecond wave shape followed by
2 discharges with a current surge of 40kA magnitude.
Following each of these tests, the arresters remain thermally
stable and the discharge voltage change at the classifying
current is less than 10%. For more details on procedures and
results, request the product specific Certified Design Test
Report.

Insulating Bracket
Joslyns polymer housed arresters are assembled complete with
a molded glass reinforced polyester insulating bracket with
greatly increased strength. This polyester bracket provides
insulation between the arrester and ground after the ground
lead disconnect has operated in the unlikely event of arrester
failure.
This bracket will accommodate a 1/2 inch carriage bolt on
the crossarm bracket. Joslyn recommends that no more than
40 foot-pounds of torque be applied when installing the arrester
on the crossarm mounting bolt.
The bracket also uses a contamination deterrent crest down
the centerline of the body of the bracket. This crest facilitates
self-washing of contamination with rainwater. This feature
reduces the risk of any contaminant build up on the top of the
bracket between the skirts.

Terminal Connections

Available Options

Distribution arrester line terminals utilize a stainless steel


four cornered Star Clamp for maximum conductor range
and speed of installation. The ground terminals utilize a
stainless steel U clamp. Both connectors securely clamp
aluminum or copper conductors from No. 10 solid through
2/0 stranded. Joslyn specifies that no more than 20 footpounds of torque be applied to the line and ground
terminals.

For options, see Catalog Selection Guides (page AR-19 thru


22) and Accessories (page AR-26 and 27).

Transformer Protection
The level of protection an arrester can provide will decrease
when utilizing long connecting leads (line and ground side).
This is due to the inductive voltage drop which is added to
the discharge voltage of the arrester. Mounting an arrester
directly to the transformer will yield excellent protective
margins from a combination of controlled lead length and
low discharge voltages.

Initial venting and arcing.

Continued arcing.

Fault-Current Withstand Tests


Fault-current testing, also known as short circuit testing,
demonstrates an arrester failure based on the most probable
failure modes over a range of fault currents. Two failure
modes are tested: 1) a fuse wire runs along the side of the
internal valve elements to simulate and internal flashover
(moisture or collar failure), 2) overvoltage the arrester until
the resistive elements fail to simulate a system overvoltage
exceeding the units TOV capability.
ANSI/IEEE C62.11 1999, specifies the test procedures and
acceptance criteria for fault-current tests on distribution
surge arresters. Joslyns arresters passed the fuse wire and
overvoltage fault-current testing at the current levels and
durations listed in the applicable Fault-Current Data Tables.
Conformance was shown by oscillograph recordings of
current magnitude and duration conducted through the
arresters. All units passed the acceptance criteria.

Following the severe fault, the arrester remained


intact.

Distribution, 5kA Dead Front Elbow Arresters
ZE Series
Rated 3-27kV
The type ZE arrester incorporates surge protection in a
one-piece, shielded elbow housing. It permits arrester
installation on standard separable connector bushings,
maintaining the dead front concept.

Performance
The type ZE arrester was developed specifically for
protection of underground distribution systems. It is
installed at the open point of the underground system to
prevent voltage wave doubling. When also installed at an
intermediate point, voltage reflections from the open point
arrester are harmlessly discharged. The housing, made of
peroxide cured EPDM rubber, is totally shielded with a
molded conductive EPDM jacket to maintain the dead front
concept. The one-piece construction requires no field
assembly. The ZE dead front elbow arrester is approved by
REA.

Durability
The ZE elbow arrester consistently withstands the
following minimum design tests:
High Current-Short Duration: 2 current surges of 40kA
magnitude.
Low Current-Long Duration: 20 current surges of 75
amperes magnitude and 2000 microsecond duration.
Duty Cycle: 22 discharges with a current surge of 5kA
magnitude and 8/20 microsecond wave shape.
Following each of these tests, the ZE arrester remains
thermally stable and the discharge voltage increase at
rated current is less than 10%.

Reliability
Rigid control standards insure that all material conforms to
exacting engineering specifications. Each finished arrester is
subjected to electrical tests to determine reference voltage,
total leakage current and corona levels.

AR-20

Application
The type ZE arrester rated voltage designates the 60Hz
voltage applied across the arrester terminals during the duty
cycle test. In addition, the type ZE arrester Maximum
Continuous Operating Voltage (MCOV) designates the
maximum power frequency voltage that may be continuously
applied across the arrester in service. Selection of the
appropriate type ZE rating is made on the basis that the
maximum continuous line-to-ground voltage on the system
does not exceed the MCOV of the arrester.
The 10kV, 18kV and 27kV rated arresters are designed for
application on nominal 15kV, 25kV and 35kV UD systems,
respectively. The three ratings include standard ANSI/IEEE
386 separable connector interface designs that are
compatible with major interface suppliers at each voltage
level. Consult Joslyn for your specific requirements.

Permanent Markings
For permanent identification, the ZE arrester has molded
into the housing JOSLYN ZE ELBOW ARRESTER. Stamped
into the stainless steel cover are JOSLYN ZE ARRESTER,
arrester rated voltage, and date of manufacture. In addition
to the above, a label contains all other information including
catalog number and both rated voltage and MCOV rating.
