Definition of surge arrestersSurge arresters are used to protect electrical equipment, such as transformers, circuit-breakers, and bushings, against the effects of overvoltages caused by incoming surges. Such overvoltages can be caused by a direct or nearby lightning strike, an electromag-netic pulse, electrostatic discharge, or switching operations in the power supply system as well as in devices. Some overvoltages are very high in energy. The current from the surge is diverted through the arrester, in most cases to earth. Effective overvoltage protection requires different surge arrester types to be used according to the particular application.

Experience is most essential when it comes to reliability in medium- and high-voltage applications. Siemens has been designing and manufacturing medium- and high-voltage surge arresters for standard and special applications since 1925. Continuous research and development, the wealth of Siemens know-how, and comprehensive worldwide experience give Siemens surge arresters a leading edge in overvoltage protection. Their uncompromising quality ensures a long service life and reliability in any application.

Siemens surge arresters are an indispensable aid to insulation coordination in electrical power supply systems. Valuable equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers, generators, motors, capacitors, traction vehicles and bushings, as well as complete switchgear, is optimally protected against lightning and switching overvoltages.

Siemens surge arresters have been designed to meet the requirements of a wide range of common installation conditions, from arctic cold to the heat of the desert and the dampness of tropical climates. They are available for any application from 3 kV up to 1,200 kV including special applications such as high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and FACTS systems as well as all kinds of compensation systems for electric power networks.

High-voltage surge arresters

Siemens offers three different designs for high-voltage station surge arresters for the protection of substation equipment for applications up to 1200 kV:

■ 3EL product family - Surge arresters with directly moulded silicone rubber housing, Cage Design™

■ 3EQ product family - Surge arresters with silicone housing, composite hollow core design

■ 3EP product family - Surge arresters with porcelain housing

Siemens provides each of these types in several versions, making it possible to find the optimal surge arrester for every conceivable application.

For more information, refer to the product guide High-voltage surge arresters (IEC) resp. Station and intermediate class surge arresters (IEEE).

SF6-insulated, metal-enclosed surge arrestersSiemens provides gas-insulated, metal-enclosed surge arresters for standard and special AC and DC applications from 72.5 kV to 800 kV. Siemens 3ES surge arresters are ideally suited for the reliable protection of gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL), gas-insulated bus (GIB), and transformers in substations, power plants, and offshore wind power plants.

For more information, refer to the product guide SF6-insulated, metal-enclosed surge arresters. Line surge arresters

The use of surge arresters on hazardous stretches of a power line helps improve network protection and increases the reliability of the entire transmission system. Offering a highly efficient combination of low weight, outstanding strength, and safety features, Siemens surge arresters are idealy suited for this purpose.

Siemens provides two solutions for line surge arresters:

Non-gapped line arresters (NGLA) can either be installed directly on the insulators or on the tower, depending on the tower design and the arrangement of insulators and lines. Siemens 3EL surge arresters are ideally suited for this purpose.

Externally gapped line arresters (EGLA) have an external spark gap placed in series that galvanically isolates the active part of the line surge arrester from the line voltage under normal conditions. The series varistor units (SVU) of the EGLA 3EV product lines are based on the respective 3EL product lines.

History timeline

The main task of an arrester is to protect equipment from the effects of overvoltages. During normal operation, an arrester should have no negative effect on the power system. Moreover, the arrester must be able to withstand typical surges without incur-ring any damage. Nonlinear resistors fulfill these requirements thanks to the following properties:

■ Low resistance during surges, so that overvoltages are limited

■ High resistance during normal operation to avoid negative effects on the power system

■ Sufficient energy discharge capability for stable operation

With this kind of nonlinear resistor, there is only a small flow of current when continu-ous operating voltage is being applied. When there are surges, however, excess energy can quickly be removed from the power system by a high discharge current.

Nonlinear resistors made of metal oxide (MO) have proven especially suitable for this use. The nonlinearity of MO resistors is considerably high, which is why MO arresters do not need series gaps. Siemens has many years of experience with gapless MO arresters in low-voltage systems, distribution systems, and transmission systems. Siemens metal oxide resistors (MOVs) provide a high energy discharge capability providing a very low protection level. This means they absorb a high amount of energy while avoiding thermal runaways. The MOVs are characterized by their high long-duration current impulse withstand capability – an indirect measure of their single impulse energy discharge capability. Siemens surge arresters are less prone to self-heating and consequent self- destruction, and they maintain their characteristics throughout their lifetime.

TestsSiemens surge arresters have been designed and tested in compliance with the latest IEC 60099-4, IEEE C62.11, and GB 11032 standards. All type tests are performed by independent, PEHLA- certified laboratories; reports are available on request. Please contact your Siemens representative for details.

Moreover, every single surge arrester that leaves the Siemens factory undergoes a routine test and is delivered with a routine test certificate.

Quality AssuranceSiemens meets all requirements of ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14002:2004, and BS OHSAS 18001:2007. All Siemens suppliers need to be certified according to ISO standards or will be audited by Siemens.

To maintain sustainable quality improvement, Siemens introduced corporate quality guidelines that contribute to each step of the quality process.

StandardizationThe aim of the IEC’s Technical Committee 37 (TC 37) as well as the IEEE’s Surge Protective Device Committee (SPDC) is the standardization of surge arrester testing and applica-tion. The TC 37 develops the standards IEC 60099-4, IEC 60099-8 (EGLA), IEC 60099-9 (HVDC), and the application guide IEC 60099-5, while the SPDC develops the standard IEEE C62.11 and the application guide IEEE C62.22. Both committees include representatives of manufacturers, utilities, test field labs, and universities.

Siemens R&D experts are members of both bodies, thus playing an important role in the definition of the standards. They also share their expert knowledge in electrical power systems in CIGRE, the international council on large electric systems, which participates in the development of interna-tional standards.

Innovations in terms of arrester design and manufacturing processes are protected by a wide portfolio of Intellectual Property (IP) rights.

This section describes the general approach to selecting typical arresters for overvoltage protection in medium-voltage systems. For a detailed description of how to configure a surge arrester, please refer to the handbook “Metal-Oxide Surge Arresters in High-Voltage Power Systems – Fundamentals.”1

The requirements for a surge arrester emerge from two basic requirements: It should provide adequate protection with a sufficient safety margin, which means that overvoltages at the device to be protected must always remain below its withstand voltage. Furthermore, the surge arrester should be dimensioned for stable continuous operation, which means that the arrester must remain electrically and thermally stable under all conditions while handling all long-term, temporary, and transient stress resulting from network operation.These two requirements cannot be fulfilled indepen-dently. A reduction of the protective level automati-cally means a higher degree of specific electrical stress during continuous operation, and conversely, the continuous operating voltage of an arrester cannot be increased arbitrarily without raising its protective level as well. Both operating points are for a given type of MOV strictly associated with each other through the voltage-current (U-I-) characteristic curve.

one-phase earth fault (earth fault factor k = 1.73). Since resonant earthed neutral systems are operated quite commonly for time periods of more than 30 minutes in this condition, the continuous operating voltage of the arrester must, in this case, have the value of the highest voltage of the system, Us.

Solidly earthed neutral system:

Uc,min ≥ Us/√3

Isolated or resonant earthed neutral system:

Uc,min ≥ Us

Example for a 24 kV system, solid earthing:

Us = 24 kV

Uc,min = 13.9 kV

Ur,min = 17.3 kV

Typical Ur = 18 kV

Example for a 24 kV system, isolated neutral:

Us = 24 kV

Uc,min = 24 kV

Ur,min = 30 kV

Typical Ur = 30 kV

The definition of the minimally required continuous operating voltage, a factor which usually has a value of 1.25, helps achieve a rated voltage Ur = 1.25 • Uc,min. This is the lowest necessary rated voltage of the arrester.

Table »Typical rated voltages Ur for highest voltages of the system Us« on page 14 and 15 lists typically applied rated voltages.

How to select a suitable surge arrester

Step 1: Selection of the continuous operat-ing voltage and the rated voltageThe first step is to define the minimally required continuous operating voltage Uc,min. This must be as high as the continuous phase-to-earth voltage of the system. Here, »continuously« applied voltage means every voltage that occurs within an uninterrupted period of more than 30 minutes.

The type of neutral earthing of the system is decisive in determining the continuous operating voltage.

In isolated or resonant earthed neutral systems, the voltage of a healthy phase against ground takes on the value of the phase-to-phase voltage in the case of a

Medium-voltage surge arresters | Product guide

Page 11: Medium-voltage surge arresters - Siemens · distribution class surge arresters, Siemens offers ... The medium-voltage surge arresters are described in more detail in the next sections

Step 2: Selection of the nominal discharge current InThe nominal discharge current In serves to classify a surge arrester. From a technical point of view, it is calculated from a typical maximum lightning current amplitude that can be expected in the substation, for which the insulation coordination is performed via the arrester’s lightning protection level. This amplitude is calculated from the flashover voltage Ufo of the line insulators, the lightning protection level Upl of the arresters, and the surge impedance Z of the line for Imax:

Imax = (2•Ufo – Upl)/Z

Example for a 24 kV system:

Ufo = 250 kV

Upl = 80 kV

Z = 450 Ohm

Imax = 0.9 kA

A 10 kA arrester, for instance, can readily withstand lightning current impulses of higher amplitudes without severe damage.

Step 3: Selection of protective levelsThe protective characteristics of an arrester are most frequently assessed by means of its lightning impulse protective level: It is assessed according to its residual voltage while the nominal discharge current is flowing. This usually means that a protective level equaling the standard lightning impulse withstand voltage of the device to be protected and divided by a factor of 1.4 is adequate for protection against lightning overvoltages.

Upl, 10 kA, 8/20µs < BIL / 1.4

The selection of the electrical characteristics of the arrester is finished when the requirements regarding the protective levels of all mentioned current impulse stresses are fulfilled.

Step 4: Selection of the energy classThe application guide IEC 60099-5 to the standard IEC 60099-4 describes how the charge transfer and energy handling capability of a surge arrester can be determined. Surge arresters dissipate switching surges by absorbing energy. The charge transfer and amount of energy is related to the switching surge magnitude and wave shape, the system impedance, the arrester protective characteris-tics, and the number of switching operations.

The selected arrester should have charge and energy rating capability greater than the accumulated charge transferred and energy associated with the expected highest surges on the system.

The application guide IEC 60099-5 offers equations to estimate charge transfer and the energy handling capability requirements of surge arresters.

Qs = (Urp − Ups) x 2 x L / c Zs

Ws = Ups x Qs

Where:

Urp is the representative maximum switching voltage (in kV)

Ups is the arrester residual voltage during the line discharge (in kV)

L is the line length with surge travel at light speed c

c is the speed of light (300,000 km/s)

Qs is the cumulative charges transferred during single line switching (in Coulombs)

Ws is the cumulative energy absorbed by the arrester during single line switching (in kJ/kV)

The application guide IEEE C62.22 offers equations to estimate the energy handling capability requirements of surge arresters. The energy discharged by an arrester J in kJ may be estimated by the equation:

J = 2DL EA IA / v

Where:

DL is the line length (in kilometers)

EA is the arrester switching impulse discharge voltage (in kV) for IA

IA is the switching impulse current (in kA)

v is the speed of light, 300,000 km/s

12

Medium-voltage surge arresters | Product guide

Page 13: Medium-voltage surge arresters - Siemens · distribution class surge arresters, Siemens offers ... The medium-voltage surge arresters are described in more detail in the next sections

The equations assume that the entire line is charged to a prospective switching surge voltage (which exists at the arrester location) and is discharged through the arrester at its protective level during twice the travel time of the line. The single discharge voltage and current are related by the equation:

IA = (ES − EA) / Z

Where:

ES is the prospective switching surge voltage (in kV)

Z is the single-phase surge impedance of line (in ohms)

The table below shows the definition of the energy class according to standard IEEE C62.11. This energy is not a fixed value, but instead depends on the arrester’s protec-tive level. The higher the discharge voltage, the less energy the arrester absorbs during the line discharge, since the line will discharge less intensely when the discharge voltage is higher.

Energy Rating (Two Shot) kJ/kVMCOV

Step 5: Protective zoneThe protection of the equipment by an arrester can be guaranteed only for short distances between arrester and equipment, due to travelling wave effects on the line. Rapidly increasing overvoltages spread in the form of traveling waves on the line. Refraction and reflection occur in places where the surge impedance of the line changes.

The maximum distance between surge arrester and equipment to be protected is described with following formula:

xs = (BIL / 1.15 – Upl ) vtw / 2s

Example for a 24 kV system, solid earthing:

Us = 24 kV

BIL = 125 kV

Upl = 47.7 kV

xs = 9.1 m

Example for a 24 kV system, isolated neutral:

Us = 24 kV

BIL = 125 kV

Upl = 79.5 kV

xs = 4.4 m

Where:

xs protective zone (in m)

BIL basic insulation level of equipment (in kV)

Upl protection level of the arrester (in kV)

Siemens cage design 3EK distribution class surge arresters offer superior protection against overvoltages in medium-voltage systems.

Siemens 3EK cage design surge arresters are ideally suited for the reliable protection of:

■ Transformers

■ Circuit breakers

■ Medium-voltage switchgear / panels

■ Distribution lines

The metal oxide resistors (MOV) are enclosed by a cage made of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) rods, providing a rigid, rein-forced structure ensuring high mechanical strength.

Reliability is guaranteed by the direct molding of the silicone rubber onto the MOVs and the FRP rods. This ensures the total embedding of all components free of inclusions and gaps, thus providing an excellent sealing system against moisture ingress, which avoids partial discharges.

In the extremely rare event of the MOVs being overloaded, arcing cannot result in a buildup of critical internal pressure, since the MOVs are not enclosed in a sealed mechanical shell. The arc can escape directly through the soft silicone housing, leaving the mechanical support structure of the enclosure unharmed. The ejection of internal parts that could damage other equipment nearby is prevented almost completely. Siemens’ innovative cage design ensures outstanding performance in safety issues.

3EK Distribution class surge arresters with silicone rubber housing and Cage Design™

Silicone rubber is highly hydrophobic and maintains its ability to repel water and any deposits of pollution throughout its entire service life. This results in high tracking and erosion resistance. The silicone rubber housing is self-extinguishing and flame-retardant. These advantages provide maintenance-free and reliable service life for 3EK surge arresters.

Siemens offers two product lines for the application in distribution networks, which differentiate in the mechanical strength:

■ 3EK4 – for rated voltages up to 36 kV, high mechanical performance.

■ 3EK7 – for rated voltages up to 60 kV, very high mechanical performance.

The proven 3EK7 is also available in a version for indoor application, which is a cage design surge arrester offering the same benefits as the version for outdoor application.

Arc Protection System

Disconnector

When overvoltage exceeds the energy capacity of an arrester, the MO resistors become damaged, causing a permanent failure of the arrester. A fault current is devel-oped and arcing begins to occur on the two terminals of the arrester. Molten metal can fall to the ground and ignite groundcover, leading to wildfires that can harm people and wildlife, and damage trees and structures in the area.

Therefore, Siemens Type 3EK distribution class surge arresters can be configured with an Arc Protection System (APS) installed at both ends of the arrester. The APS unit consists of multiple metallic plates forming electrodes which are shaped and aligned in a way that the current flowing through the electrodes generates a magnetic field. That magnetic force makes the arc rotate around the arrester body, controlling and containing it, mitigating the creation of molten material coming from the end fittings, and thus greatly reducing the risk of wildfires.

The APS is available for Types 3EK4 and 3EK7. Especially in hot and dry regions with high risks of wildfires, such as the Western US and South Australia, surge arresters with APS are highly recommended.

The surge arrester can also be equipped with a visible fault feature. In the event of an arrester failure, a red indicator will appear at the bottom of the arrester.

A disconnector is a device at the earth terminal of the arrester, which separates the arrester from the system after an overloading. Without a disconnector – at least in a solidly earthed neutral system – a subsequent operation of the appropriate line section would no longer be possible. The disconnector is of great importance for a trouble-free operation of a distribution network.

Disconnectors are only used in distribution systems. One of the most common working principles of disconnectors is the ignition of a small explosive device (e.g., the cartridge of a gas pistol) caused by the thermal effect of the power-frequency earth fault current, which flows after an arrester failure. The explosive device tears the surrounding poly-meric housing and causes the flexible earthing lead to disconnect from the arrester.

Siemens distribution arresters with APS fulfill the require-ments of Cal Fire’s Power Line Fire Prevention Field Guide (2008). They successfully passed all required testing with 100% compliance. As a result, Siemens surge arresters with APS record a substantially lower spark production rate than arresters without APS.

Siemens cage design 3EJ high energy discharge surge arresters offer superior protection against overvoltages in medium-voltage systems.

Siemens 3EJ cage design surge arresters are ideally suited for the reliable protection of:

■ Generators

■ Motors

■ Arc furnaces

■ Arc furnace transformers

■ Dry type transformers

■ Airfield-lighting systems

■ Cable sheath

■ Capacitors and capacitor banks

■ Converters for drives

The metal oxide resistors (MOV) are enclosed by a cage made of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) rods, providing a rigid, rein-forced structure ensuring high mechanical strength.

Reliability is guaranteed by the direct molding of the silicone rubber onto the MOVs and the FRP rods. This ensures the total embedding of all components free of inclusions and gaps, thus providing an excellent sealing system, which avoids partial discharges or moisture ingress.

In the extremely rare event of the MOVs being overloaded, arcing cannot result in a buildup of critical internal pressure, since the MOVs are not enclosed in a sealed mechanical shell. The arc can escape directly through the soft silicone housing, leaving the mechanical support structure of the enclosure unharmed. The ejection of internal parts that could damage other equipment nearby is prevented almost completely. Siemens’ innovative cage design™ ensures outstanding performance in safety issues.

3EJ Surge arresters with high energy discharge capabilities with silicone rubber housing and Cage Design™

Silicone rubber is highly hydrophobic and maintains its ability to repel water and any deposits of pollution throughout its entire service life. This results in high tracking and erosion resistance. The silicone rubber housing is self-extinguishing and flame-retardant. These advantages provide maintenance-free and reliable service life for 3EJ surge arresters.

Siemens offers five product lines for the application with high energy discharge, which differentiate in the protection level:

■ 3EJ2 – for rated voltages up to 54 kV, medium energy discharge capability.

■ 3EJ3 – for rated voltages up to 54 kV, high energy discharge capability.

■ 3EJ4 – for rated voltages up to 54 kV, very high energy discharge capability.

■ 3EJ0 – for rated voltages up to 15 kV, very low protection levels for protection against switching over voltages.

■ 3EJ9 – for rated voltages up to 12 kV, very low protection levels for protection against switching over voltages.

The proven 3EJ4 is also available in a version for indoor application, which is a cage design™ surge arrester offering the same benefits as the version for outdoor application.

The 3EJ0 and 3EJ9 surge arresters have been optimized for the protection against over voltages caused by switching in combination with very low protection levels. The 3EJ0 surge arresters are normally used in cable systems up to 15 kV. For station service systems of power stations and extensive cable systems the 3EJ9 surge arresters are used having a higher energy absorption capability and improved protec-tion level.

For applications requiring a surge arrester with silicone rubber housing with a directional pressure relief device. Siemens offers the 3EQ0 for rated voltages up to 45 kV.

Siemens 3EQ0 composite hollow core design surge arresters are ideally suited for the reliable protection of:

■ Generators

■ Motors

■ Arc furnaces

■ Arc furnace transformers

■ Dry type transformers

■ Airfield-lighting systems

■ Cable sheath

■ Capacitors and capacitor banks

■ Converters for drives

The excellent sealing system of 3EQ0 surge arresters prevents failures or moisture ingress and guarantees decades of trouble-free service.

The composite hollow core design provides a very high degree of safety: In the case of an overload or the extremely rare case of an arrester short circuit, the arc escapes directly through directional pressure relief device, internal parts are not ejected, and the housing does not break.

3EQ0 Silicone rubber surge arresters with composite hollow core design

Siemens’ innovative composite hollow core design uses silicone and an FRP hollow core as housing materials. The direct molding of the silicone rubber onto the FRP hollow core ensures reliability, while an excellent special sealing of the flanges at both ends of the surge arrester effectively prevents moisture ingress, which avoids partial discharges. The combination of silicone rubber and fiber-glass-reinforced hollow core also allows an enormous load carrying capacity for the structure.

The excellent sealing system of 3EP-G surge arresters prevents failures or moisture ingress and guarantees decades of trouble-free service. The use of nonporous sulfur cement instead of corrosive Portland cement for bonding protects the MO resistors and prevents aging effects.

The MO resistors of 3EP surge arresters are enclosed by a rigid, reinforced cage made of FRP rods. The high tensile strength of the FRP rods is used to hold the arrester’s MO resistors in place tightly.

3EP-G Porcelain surge arresters

Siemens’ 3EP porcelain-housed surge arresters ensure maximum protection in an overload situation thanks to a specially designed directional pressure relief device. In the case of an overload or the extremely rare case of an arrester short circuit, the arc escapes easily through the pressure relief devices. No pressure is built up inside the arrester and no internal parts are ejected, which prevents damage to surrounding equipment.

For the overvoltage protection of generators and motors, which require a very high short-circuit current capability, Siemens offers the 3EP-G porcelain housed surge arresters with short-circuit current capability up to 300 kA.

Continuous operating voltage (symbol Uc)indicates the designated permissible root mean square value of the power frequency voltage that is allowed to be applied continuously between the arrester terminals.

Creepage distancedefines the distance between the metal end fittings, measured along the housing surface. It is an important factor in the behavior of an insulator – or a device containing an insulator – in polluted conditions.

Discharge voltagequantifies the voltage drop between the arrester’s termi-nals when a current impulse is injected. For current impulses in the shape and value of a standard test current impulse (lightning current impulse, switching current impulse, steep current impulse), the simultaneously occurring residual voltages define the protective levels that are assigned to this current shape and value.

Duty cycle voltage (symbol Ur)is the maximum permissible root mean square value of the power frequency voltage between the arrester terminals at which the arrester is designed to operate correctly under temporary overvoltage conditions as the operating duty tests. Normally, the manufacturer specifies whether it can be applied to the arrester for a duration of 10 seconds (which corresponds to the value in the operating duty test) or 100 seconds. The rated voltage is the reference parameter for determining the operating characteristics.

Highest voltage of a system (symbol Us)indicates the root mean square value of the highest phase-to-phase operating voltage that occurs under normal operating conditions at any time and at any point in the system.

Leakage distancedefines the distance between the metal end fittings, measured along the housing surface. It is an important factor in the behavior of an insulator – or a device containing an insulator – in polluted conditions.

Lightning impulse classifying current (symbol In)indicates the peak value of a lightning current impulse used to classify an arrester.

Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage (MCOV)indicates the designated permissible root mean square value of the power frequency voltage that is allowed to be applied continuously between the arrester terminals.

Nominal discharge current (symbol In)indicates the peak value of a lightning current impulse used to classify an arrester.

Protective levelis the maximum value of an arrester’s residual voltage at a standard current impulse. In this case, there is a difference between the lightning impulse protective level (8/20 µs), the switching impulse protective level (30/60 µs), and the steep current impulse (1/2µs) protective level.

Rated short-circuit current (symbol Is)indicates the root mean square value of the symmetrical highest short-circuit current that can flow after an arrester has been overloaded without causing violent shattering of the housing.

Rated voltage (symbol Ur)is the maximum permissible root mean square value of the power frequency voltage between the arrester terminals at which the arrester is designed to operate correctly under temporary overvoltage conditions as the operating duty tests. Normally, the manufacturer specifies whether it can be applied to the arrester for a duration of 10 seconds (which corresponds to the value in the operating duty test) or 100 seconds. The rated voltage is the reference parameter for determining the operating characteristics.

Residual voltagequantifies the voltage drop between the arrester’s terminals when a current impulse is injected. For current impulses in the shape and value of a standard test current impulse (lightning current impulse, switching current impulse, steep current impulse), the simultaneously occurring residual voltages define the protective levels that are assigned to this current shape and value.

Specific creepage distance (SCD)is the creepage distance of an insulator in relation to the highest voltage for the equipment, Us (phase-to-phase voltage), given in mm/kV.

Temporary overvoltage (TOV)denominates the power frequency overvoltage that can occur for a duration of several tenths of a second to up to a few seconds, as a result of a switching operation or system failure. Its value depends on the type of neutral earthing in the system.
