The catalogues list the available standard arresters from ABB of por-celain-housed arresters type EXLIM and silicone polymer-housed arresters, type PEXLIM. The selection is carried out in two major steps: Matching the electrical characteristics of the arresters to the system s electri-cal demands Matching the mechanical characte-ristics of the arresters to the system s mechanical and environmental final selection is reflected in the arres-ter type system voltageUcContinuous operating voltageUrRated voltageTOVTemporary overvoltageTTOV strength factorkEarth fault factorUpsSwitching impulse protective levelUplLightning impulse protective levelUwsSwitching impulse withstand levelUwlLightning impulse withstand levelC-2ABB Surge Arresters Buyer s GuideEdition 4, 2003-10ABB Surge Arresters Buyer s GuideC-3Edition 4, 2003-10Selection of arrester Flowchart for Simplified selection of surge arrestersC-2ABB Surge Arresters Buyer s GuideEdition 4, 2003-10ABB Surge Arresters Buyer s GuideC-3Edition 4, 2003-10Selection of arresterSystem EarthingFaultDura-tionSystem VoltageUm (kV)Min.
discharge class IEC classifies arresters by their nominal discharge current. For 10 and 20 kA arres-ters, they are also classified by energy capa-bility expressed as line discharge class (2 to 5) verified in a long duration current test and a switching surge operating duty test. In the latter, the arrester is subjected to two
