12KV outdoor surge arresters / silicon lightning arrester

  Surge arrester   A surge arrester（overhead line fittings） is a protective device used to safeguard electrical systems from high-voltage electric shocks, surges, and other power-related irregularities. It works in such way that when a voltage spike or other abnormally high potential occurs, it absorbs the energy and reduces the potential difference before it reaches the system's components. In essence, it acts as a barrier against any high-powered voltages to protect the materials and objects connected in the circuit. It is typically used in electric circuits that could be adversely affected by extraordinary differences in voltage or electric current during powering up, because these often result in fires, electrical damages to electronics or even disrupt service. The surge arrester stores small amounts of electricity instead of damming it off, so protecting electronics as well as preventing disruptions. In this blog post, we will explain different surge arrester…
