Surge arrester type 1 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.
