ZJP Intermediate Class Polymer Arresters

The type "ZJP" intermediate class arresters offer the benefits of polymer housings for system voltages up to 46kV.

The arresters are approxiately 1/5 the weight of the porcelain equivalent. Handling and installation become much easier tasks. Also, the risk of damage to the housing is reduced compared to porcelain.

Features:

  • The design consists of a number of metal oxide valve elements contained within a fiberglass winding and then inserted into the polymer housing.
  • ZJP arresters are shippped as single units for all ratings.
  • The metal oxide valve elements combine excellent protective characteristics with steady state performance to maximize protection over many years of service.

Description

Performance:

  • ZJP: 3 through 45kV duty cycle rating, 2.55kV through 36kV MCOV for 2.4 through 46kV system line-line voltage.
  • High Current-Short Duration: 100kA crest
  • Transmission Line Discharge: Exceeds ANSI/IEEE and IEC class 2 standard requirements
  • Nominal discharge current per IEC: 10kA
  • Minumum energy Capability: 5.0kJ/kV MCOV
  • Fault Withstand Capability: 20kA rms sym
  • Working cantilever strength: 720 in. -lbs.
  • Fault Current Withstand: The severity of a failure depends on the duration and magnitude of the available fault current conducting through the arrester at the time offailure.

Design:

  • The arrester designs are tested in accordance with the latest industry standards for metal oxide arresters.
  • The "ZJP" arresters consistently withstand the following minumum design tests.
  • This type of arrester, with its polymer housing, eliminates the potential danger of porcelain fragmentation. The design uses a fiberglass epoxy wrap to relieve the pressure that is present during a failure.
  • Three Phase Installation Layout:The holes for mounting are .56 inches (14.2 mm) for 1/2" bolts.

Nameplates:

  • In addition to the information that is included on the tripod base, a namelate is attached to the casting to provide all of the required arrester details.
  • The catalog number, the rated voltage, the maximum continuous operating voltage, and the pressure relief current rating are shown.
  • The serial number includes information about the time of manufacture.

NOTE: Mounting bolts and washers are not furnished with the arrester.
