TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

C-1

The 132 kV station class Gapless Surge Arrestors (for outdoor use) shall be of the metal oxide type using Zinc oxide resistor blocks of non linear characteristic without air gap. They shall comply IEC 99-4 and shall be entirely suitable for operation under the system conditions specified; including system voltage rises on unloading long transmission lines and shall have sufficient capacity to discharge system charging currents without damage. It is expected to use these surge arrestors at the line end and near the HV power transformers. The present surge arrestors have a center to center distance of 3m in the switch yard and transformer bay. The surge arrestor shall be capable or resealing against the maximum transient over voltage (TOV). The surge arrestors shall be connected between each phase and earth in a threephase system. The active element shall be housed in a gas tight insulator of polymer compound. The creepage distance shall be minimum 25 mm/kV phase to phase based on the rated voltage of the system. The surge arrestors shall be equipped with a grading ring. If necessary, an internal grading system may control the voltage distribution along the metal oxide resistor stack. A pressure relief device shall prevent damage by overpressure and discharge counters shall be provided to indicate number of operations for each arrestor. Surge arrestor shall be of heavy duty type. Connection to ground shall be by copper cable via a surge counter. A suitable surge counter shall be provided with the arrestor. Surge arrestor shall withstand maximum local wind force and conductor forces. The arrestors will be mounted vertical upright. The quality of design and manufacturing process shall be assured in accordance with the ISO 9000 series standards. Relevant ISO certificates shall be furnished with the offer.
