Surge arrester GE Arresters

GE TRANQUELL® arresters are designed and tested in

accordance with ANSI/IEEE C62.11 and IEC 99-4[2,3].

The standard TRANQUELL arrester consists of a stack

of metal oxide disks mounted in a sealed housing.

Each disk is wedged in place offering protection against

physical damage during shipment and installation.

On the end faces of each disk, a conducting surface

is applied to assure proper contact and uniform current distribution.

TRANQUELL arresters provide exceptional overvoltage

protection of major power system equipment.

Under normal system conditions, the arrester conducts

less than one milliampere. When a surge reaches the arrester,

the arrester conducts only the current necessary to limit

the overvoltage. As a result, TRANQUELL arresters absorb

minimum energy to protect equipment insulation.
