High Energy Metal-Oxide Arrester Blocks
The AS Series of Arrester blocks is primarily designed to be
used as the surge suppression element within a lightning
arrester assembly. These arrester blocks provide the high
peak surge current and energy ratings required for the
protection of high voltage AC power utility distribution
systems. Typically, these devices are placed within a special
arrester housing provided by the customer, and stacked to
achieve the necessary continuous working voltage ratings
for the speci铿乧 application. (See the CA or NA series of
Varistor discs for lower voltage and energy applications.)
