ABB POLIM-R..ND MV HV Surge Arrester Class DC-B DC Traction Systems 0.75kV Indoor & Outdoor
ABB POLIM-R..ND MV HV Surge Arrester Class DC-B DC Traction Systems 0.75kV Indoor & Outdoor
ABB POLIM-R..ND surge arresters are used for the short-circuit protection of medium voltage and high voltage electrical equipment and cables against overvoltages caused by lightning, atmospheric discharges and switching conditions up to 0.75kV.
POLIM-R..ND surge arrester is intended for use indoors and outdoors and are designed with metal-oxide (MO) resistors without spark gaps molded in silicone housing and tested according to IEC 62848-1 and EN 50526-1.
- IEC 62848-1:2016 Railway applications – DC surge arresters and voltage limiting devices – Part 1: Metal-oxide surge arresters without gaps
- EN 50526-1 Railway applications – Fixed installations – D.C. surge arresters and voltage limiting devices – Part 1: Surge arresters
ABB POLIM-R..ND surge arresters are for use with MV-HV cables, rolling stock, traction systems, fixed installations and secondary equipment – T&D distribute cable joints, terminations and connectors to support the construction of electrical networks, substations and overhead lines for 11kV, 33kV and up to 66kV.
Surge arresters should be installed as close as possible to the medium/high voltage electrical equipment to be protected within the protective distance with sheds pointing downwards – minimum permissible distances between the surge arresters and the earth must be observed.

ABB Medium & High Voltage Products – complete range of MV-HV surge arresters for overvoltage protection of substations and overhead line distribution networks
Earthing Surge Arresters
Installers must observe national regulations and the requirements of the system owner/utility. ABB POLIM-R..ND surge arresters should be connected to the system ground via the shortest path – all contact surfaces should be cleaned and lubricated with acid-free contact grease.
Observe recommended minimum diameters for ABB POLIM-R..ND arresters:
- Copper Diameter 20mm
- Aluminium Diameter 40mm
Commissioning MV-HV Medium & High Voltage Surge Arresters
Due to the risk of electric shock only authorised personnel should work on ABB POLIM-R..ND surge arresters and observe BS EN 50110-1:2013 Operation of Electrical Installations – the MV-HV power system should be disconnected from the power supply, de-energised and grounded using portable short-circuit earthing kits for either substation or overhead line applications. If live-working is required and unavoidable around electrical equipment a calculation of arc risk should be sanctioned and appropriate arc flash protection clothing worn.
