132kV Surge Arresters
Published 19 Jun 2017
ABB designs the PEXLIM range to protect electrical infrastructure against overvoltages caused by lightning strikes and switching operations.
Thorne & Derrick supplies ABB surge arresters for high voltage applications, helping UK Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), contractors and substation operators protect critical electrical assets.
ABB PEXLIM 132kV Surge Arresters
The ABB PEXLIM surge arrester protects 132kV electricity networks and high voltage equipment against damaging overvoltages.
Electrical engineers install surge arresters across a range of applications, including:
- High voltage substations
- Power transformers
- Switchgear and capacitor banks
- Electric motors and bushings
- High voltage cables
- Overhead line-to-underground cable transitions
In particular, surge arresters help protect critical equipment at points where overhead power lines connect to underground cable networks.
ABB engineers the PEXLIM range to provide reliable overvoltage protection for demanding high voltage applications.
UK DNO’s take the uninterrupted supply of electricity to our homes and business seriously, very seriously.
