Type DMX-N Surge Arresters Maximum System Voltage 2 to 36 kv

DMX-N gapless metal oxide surge arresters DMX-N surge arresters are used for the protection of switchgear, transformers and other equipment in high voltage systems from atmospheric and switching overvoltages. DMX-N surge arresters can also be used when lightening intensity or energy capability requirements are high or in case of heavy pollution. The superior design of the DMX-N surge arresters supports conditions which require low weight, reduced clearances, flexible mounting, and shatter-proof housing. Application The DMX-N gapless metal oxide polymer Surge Arrester has been veri ied to meet or exceed all heavy duty distribution class requirements of ANSI C62.11 (IEEE Standard for Metal-Oxide Surge Arresters for AC Power Circuits as a normal duty distribution class arrester. The DMX-N Surge Arrester is designed to meet the following performance data: Performance data Maximum system voltages (V m Duty cycle rated voltages ( Classifying current (IEEE Discharge current withstand strength: High current 4 / 10 µs Low current 2000 µs Energy capability: Short-circuit / pressure relief capability 2.52-36.2 kms 3-45 kms 5 ka peak 65 ka peak 150 A peak 3.3 kj/kv of MCOV 16 ka rms sym Service conditions: Ambient temperature -50 C to + 45 C Design altitude 6000 ft / 1830 m Frequency 15-62 Hz Type tested to the following standards: IEEE standard C62.11a Notes: 1 Higher altitude designs available on request 2 DMX-N Metal Oxide Gapless Surge Arresters

Benefits 100% silicone based housing ABB s DMX-N Surge Arrester now has a new construction to enhance overall lifetime performance. The arrester consists of high performance metal oxide disks molded in a shatterproof silicone polymer housing. The silicone rubber housing features high tracking and arc resistance, excellent hydrophobic properties, and resistance to weathering, Uadiation and pollution. The incorporation of polymer material in a distribution class arrester has resulted in many advantages, including: Direct-molded construction The metal oxide disks are enclosed in a support assembly consisting of reinforced epoxy/fiberglass loops connecting the upper and lower aluminum end pieces. The silicone polymer material is then molded directly to the metal oxide loop assembly, eliminating any air pockets which could cause moisture ingress over time. Lightweight The DMX-N Surge Arrester is less than 50 percent the weight of its porcelain counterpart, which results in easier handling and installation. Damage resistant Polymer construction reduces possible shipping and handling damage, as well as, damage due to vandalism. Safety Shatter-resistant construction provides greater protection for personnel, as well as, nearby equipment. Configuration options The arrester can be furnished with a variety of mounting configurations, as well as various configurations for line and ground electrical connections. Reduced electrical clearance Polymer construction has resulted in much smaller housing dimensions in comparison with porcelain units of the same voltage rating. This size reduction enables efficient use of space for switchgear enclosures, mobile substations and other applications where space restrictions are present.
