Sample Polymer Specification
Purpose: To ensure a suitable service life of polymer insulating materials.

I. Material Design Tests
- The following must be performed to certify a material for use in production.
1. Tracking test: Performed on a sample of material inclined at 30 and electrodes posi-
tioned 35mm apart. Samples are sprayed with a conductive solution (400cm) and ener-
gized at 10kV. The cycle is repeated every 90 seconds. The sample passes if there is:
1. No carbonization or tracking.
2. No erosion through sample.
3. No leakage current flow at the end of 90 seconds.
The sample must withstand 20,000 test cycles.
2. Ultraviolet Test: Samples of the rubber must be tested in a QUV tester or equivalent cyclic
weatherometer. The samples are exposed to high ultraviolet radiation and high humidity
without cracking, checking or becoming hydrophilic.
The sample is judged to have passed this test if it exceeds 8,000 hours of exposure without
damage.
3. Corona Cutting: Samples 5 cm by 7 cm are subjected to mechanical stress of 300,000
microstrain by bending samples around a grounded electrode. A needle-like electrode is
placed 1 mm from the surface of the sample and energized at 12 kV in a controlled humid-
ity chamber.
The sample is judged to have passed this test if there is no splitting or cutting. Samples
must pass 1,000 hours of exposure to this test.
4. Oxidative Stability: Samples of the polymer compound are tested using differential scan-
ning calorimetry. Samples are heated rapidly in a nitrogen atmosphere to the test tempera-
ture of 200C. The atmosphere is then changed to air and the temperature is maintained
until the antioxidant is consumed, as measured by an exothermic chemical reaction. The
time to this reaction must exceed 300 minutes.
5. Tear Strength: Rubber test slabs are prepared in accordance with ASTM Standards and
are tested to determine tear strength of the material. The minimum acceptable tear strength
is 125 lb./in.
II. Other Requirements
- The manufacturer must supply upon request a listing of routine tests performed to ensure
production compliance with design tests.

Corona Performance
Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators are RIV and corona free through 161 kV, by the use of integral Corona Shield
Rings (CSR). Due to the small diameter of the end fittings, corona shielding is necessary at 230 kV and above.

Weathersheds - Weathersheds are high pressure

silicone alloy rubber exhibit hydrophobicity, high
mechanical strength, high corona resistance and low
permeability to moisture.
Interface - Hi*Lite insulators use Ohio Brass patented
live silicone interface (U.S. Patent No. 3,898,372).
This feature prevents intrusion of moisture and con-
taminating elements. If the exterior seal is damaged,
redundant o-ring seals within the live silicone interface
prohibit the lengthwise migration of intrusive elements
between shed and rod.
Leakage Distance
Hi*Lite XL insulators feature high leakage distance for
maximum resistance to contamination and leakage
currents.
Washability
Hi*Lite Line Post insulators listed in this catalog are
suitable for flood washing up to 200 psi. The design in-
corporates positive, labyrinth seals to ensure long-term
security against water entry. Conventional dry-particle,
air-pressure cleaning methods may also be employed.
A cleaning guideline is available from Ohio Brass.
If your washing requirements exceed flood washing,
contact Ohio Brass.

Jumper Clamps and Assemblies

A practical application of Hi*Lite line posts is for support
of jumper loops on transmission lines.
Horizontal motion of the jumper is restricted, and the fac-
tor of wind sway is eliminated. Additionally the crossarm
length may be reduced. The Difference in cost of insulation
is not significant but, the savings in tower cost can be at-
tractive. Regardless of cost, the use of a jumper support
improves construction.
If using a single clamp, clamp position relative to the in-
sulator may be changed by bolting the clamp through the
upper hole in the insulator end fitting.
Jumper clamps are not intended for tangent span

that a Hi*Lite post insulator is designed to withstand dur-
ing its service life.
Average Failing Load (AFL)
AFL is the average failing load of a Hi*Lite line or station
post insulator. This value can be determined by multiply-
ing the MDC by a factor of 2.5.
Selection
If you need a Hi*Lite post that is different from those shown
in this catalog, please contact your OB representative.
Hi*Lite station posts meet electrical and dimensional
specifications of their porcelain equivalents. Mechanically,
the Hi*Lite are less rigid with more deflection under both
cantilever and torsional loading.

1. Tracking test: Performed on a sample of material inclined at 30 and electrodes
positioned 35mm apart. Samples are sprayed with a conductive solution (400cm)
and energized at 10kV. The cycle is repeated every 90 seconds. The sample pass-
es if there is:
2. Ultraviolet Test: Samples of the rubber must be tested in a QUV tester or equiva-
lent cyclic weatherometer. The samples are exposed to high ultraviolet radiation
and high humidity without cracking, checking or becoming hydrophilic.
The sample is judged to have passed this test if it exceeds 8,000 hours of exposure
without damage.
3. Corona Cutting: Samples 5 cm by 7 cm are subjected to mechanical stress of
300,000 strain by bending samples around a grounded electrode. A needle-like E
electrode is placed 1 mm from the surface of the sample and energized at 12 kV in
a controlled humidity chamber.
The sample is judged to have passed this test if there is no splitting or cutting.
Samples must pass 1,000 hours of exposure to this test.
4. Oxidative Stability: Samples of the polymer compound are tested using differ-
ential scanning calorimetry. Samples are heated rapidly in a nitrogen atmosphere
to the test temperature of 200C. The atmosphere is then changed to air and the
temperature is maintained until the antioxidant is consumed, as measured by an
exothermic chemical reaction. The time to this reaction must exceed 300 minutes.
5. Tear Strength: Rubber test slabs are prepared in accordance with ASTM Stan-
dards and are tested to determine tear strength of the material. The minimum ac-
ceptable tear strength is 150 lb./in.
- The manufacturer must supply upon request a listing of routine tests performed to
ensure production compliance with design tests.

SUPER TOP-TIE Line Ties

for Pin, Post and Spool Insulators
Made of aluminum-clad steel compatible with aluminum,
aluminum-alloy and ACSR conductors in the top grooves of
vertical-mounted *ANSI Class C, F, J and many non-standard
pin and post insulators (single-or double-support) or on *ANSI
53-2 spool insulators (horizontal or vertical).
High-density polyethylene hooks provide the wide application
range and ensure proper installation. If used over armor rods
(not required), select tie size based on total conductor/armor
diameter. Semiconductive-rubber pad and high-density-
polyethylene on loops protect against abrasion of insulator,
conductor and tie. Fit is resilient and provides superior
performance under galloping and aeolian vibration. Install
by hand or with hot-line tools.
Manufactured and/or for use under U.S. Patent 4,015,073.

with IEC fittings. For insulators furnished with ANSI fittings, SML
ratings available are 111 kN (25K lbs.), 133 kN (30K lbs.), 160 kN
(36K lbs.) and 222 kN (50K lbs.) RTL ratings are consistent with the
IEC and ANSI standard. Actual factory routine tests are conducted at
loads equal to or greater than the RTL rating.
Markings for XL insulator design are permanently embossed into the
ground end corona shielding rings (CSR). Markings include SML and
RTL, part number, assembly date code, and Ohio Brass identifica-
tion. These marks are consistent with the IEC and ANSI standard.
Lengths Available
Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators are available in lengths appropriate
for 69 kV through 765 kV. Longer lengths can be produced for special
projects. Intermediate lengths (utilizing an additional 2 sheds) are
also available (those that fall in between the catalog numbers listed in

Packaging
Hi*Lite suspension insulators are packaged in appropriate quanti-
ties in wooden crates 111.7 cm (44 inches) wide with the length of
the crate determined by the length of the insulator. The height of the
crate is normally less than 114.3 cm (45 inches). The gross weight
will not exceed 909 kg (2,000 lbs.). Crates are available for both
ROD domestic and export transportation.

Leakage Distance
Hi*Lite XL insulators feature high leakage distance for maximum
resistance to contamination and leakage currents. Specific leakage
distance (leakage divided by dry arcing distance) is higher than that
of porcelain. Hi*Lite XL insulators are offered in standard uniform
weathershed configuration and alternating (major/minor) weather-
shed configuration for applications requiring increased specified
leakage distances.

Corona Performance
Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators are RIV and corona free through 161 kV, by the use of integral Corona Shield
Rings (CSR). Corona shielding is necessary at 220/230 kV and above. The table below details the rings neces-
sary for voltages equal to or less than that listed in the column header.

Design Characteristics
1. Long Duration Current Impulse: Depending upon the system impedance and system conditions, power lines
can discharge currents of low magnitude for significantly long durations as compared to a lightning stroke. The
Ohio Brass MOV blocks are tailored to meet this challenge. MOV block samples are subjected to 18 to 20 dis-
charges each with a current magnitude and duration as listed on Table 3 with one minute cooling interval between
each discharge. The sample discharge voltages are verified before and after long duration discharges with a 10 kA
8/20 s current wave to confirm no damage. Table 3 shows that the actual changes are well below the tolerances
allowed by standards, thus demonstrating product excellence.
Table 3: Long Duration Current Impulse Compliance

Standard Product Current (A) Duration (s) Tolerance (%) Tolerance (%)
IEC 60099-4 PDV-65 75 2000 5% 4.0%

IEEE C62.11 PDV-Optima 250 2000 5% 0.1%
IEEE C62.11 PVR 250 2000 10% 1.2%
2. Accelerated Aging: Ensuring stable arrester performance, after installation, is a necessity. MOV blocks are
thermally aged at 115C for 1000 hours at voltages specified by standards while continuous measurements of disc
watts loss are recorded. Excellent stability is demonstrated with a continuous reduction in watts loss for the entire
test period.

IEEE C.62.11 PDV-Optima 115 1000 Continuously Decreasing
IEEE C.62.11 PVR 115 1000 Continuously Decreasing
3. Heat Dissipation Behavior: The intent of this test is to ensure that the prorated test sample used for durability
design tests has a thermal cooling characteristic that is slower than or equal to the actual unit. All prorated samples
showed a slower cooling rate than a complete unit, demonstrating sample validity.
4. Operating Duty Performance: Distribution systems are affected more by lightning strokes than switching
operations. The probability of the number of strokes and the magnitude of these strokes depend upon several fac-
tors that cannot be controlled or predicted accurately. Dynavar arresters are tested to ensure they are capable of
withstanding high current impulses while demonstrating thermal recovery. During this test, the MOV test samples
are subjected to twenty 8/20 s lightning strokes and two 4/10 s high current impulses of specified magnitude
followed by another 8/20 s discharge voltage verification impulse. The prorated sections demonstrated thermal
stability. Table 5 compares the actual performance of the prorated sections under these test conditions with the
tolerances permitted by the standards. It is evident that the arrester designs performed much superior to standard
requirements.

5. Disconnector Operation: It is a common utility practice to attach a ground lead disconnector to distribution
arresters. This is done to ensure continuous system operation in the rare event of an arrester short circuit and to
provide a visual indication of the disconnected unit. It is also important to verify that the disconnector does not op-
erate under surge conditions but isolates the ground lead during arrester short circuit. Samples with disconnectors
were subjected to low current long duration tests and duty cycle/operating duty tests as summarized in Tables 3
and 5 to verify normal arrester operation under surge conditions. The disconnector operation under faulted condi-
tion was also verified. Table 6, specifies the current sensitivity and the time response of the standard disconnector.
Standards specify the detonation curve be defined for fault currents ranging from 20 to 800 Amps.
Utilities have identified the necessity to have a more sensitive and disconnector that isolates the ground lead at
lower current levels. Ohio Brass now offers its advanced disconnector with its IEEE C62.11 compliant PDV Optima
arresters. Table 7 specifies the characteristics of the Optima disconnector. The disconnector will isolate the ground
lead at currents as low as 1 A. This has been achieved with a patented capacitor-based disconnector design instead
of the traditional resistor designs. The capacitor-based isolator is more reliable as it prevents thermal run away
situations that might be possible with commonly available resistor designs.

800 0.05 100 0.28

6. Power Frequency Voltage versus Time Characteristics: Power systems are not ideal and periodically have
temporary over voltages (TOV) caused by a variety of reasons. The magnitude and duration of the system-gener-
ated TOV that the arrester can withstand is best expressed graphically. The three curves on page 7 show the TOV
capability versus time for the Ohio Brass arresters in this catalog.
The PDV-100 Optima utilizes a capacitance-based isolator which improves the TOV capability while increasing
the reliability of disconnector function. The PDV-100 Optima technology results in a family of TOV curves that are
a function of the voltage UC of the arrester.
For more information, contact your Ohio Brass sales representative.
7. Partial Discharge Performance: Partial discharges in arresters can result in radio interferences and initiate
material fatigue that can reduce the life of arresters. Both the IEC 60099-4 and IEEE C62.11 standards require that
the arrester shall demonstrate a partial discharge value of less than 10pC. All Ohio Brass arresters, comply with
the standards.
8. Pressure Relief Capability: Ohio Brass arresters are designed such that, during an unlikely condition of a short
circuit, they demonstrate sufficient explosion proof and shatter resistant properties. It is important to consider both
the symmetrical R.M.S capability as well as the asymmetrical peak capability depending on system X/R conditions.
Table 8 displays the demonstrated high and low symmetrical RMS current withstands and their durations. Table 8
also outlays the asymmetrical peak withstand and its duration. It can be observed that the asymmetrical peak to
the symmetrical peak ratios are greater than 2.5.

PDE ELBOW ARRESTERS

Rated 3-30 kV
General
Hubbell PDE elbow arresters are gapless metal oxide
varistor (MOV) type surge arresters. PDE arresters are
designed to provide shielded deadfront arrester protec-
tion for underground systems (15 kV - 35 kV class).
PDE arresters limit overvoltages to acceptable levels,
protecting equipment and extend life.
Design Tests
PDE elbow arresters reliably withstand the following
design tests:
Operating Duty Cycle: 20 - 5 kA discharges
High Current short duration: 2 - 65 kA discharges
Low current long duration: 20 - 75A x 2000 usec.
Production Tests
Polymer Housing Only: All tests performed per IEEE Standard 386
PDE elbow arresters reliably withstand the following design tests:
Partial Discharge Voltage Level
AC 60 Hz 1 Minute Withstand
BIL and Full Wave Impulse Withstand
Complete PDE: All tests performed per IEEE Standard 386

PDE elbow arresters reliably withstand the following design tests:
Partial Discharge Voltage Level
Reference Voltage per IEEE Standard C62.11
Power Frequency per IEEE Standard C62.11
Periodic Fluoroscopic Analysis
Application
PDE arresters are designed for use with 200 Amp loadbreak bushings and interfaces with other 200 Amp load-
break accessories that conform with IEEE Standard 386. A PDE arrester installed at the end of a radial system or
at both ends of an open point on a loop system will provide excellent protection against high voltage surges result-
ing from lightning or switching. When combined with an Ohio Brass PVR (Riser Pole) arrester installed at the end
of a radial system or at the next piece of apparatus downstream, optimum protection can be achieved. Consult
your Hubbell Power Systems account representative.
PDE Physical and Electrical Characteristics

The critical electrical values for elbow arresters are the discharge voltage (IR) and the IEEE Standard 386 in-
terface class. In general, the lower the discharge voltage, the better the protective margin. Hubbell PDE elbow
arresters are non-fragmenting and possess excellent fault close characteristics to minimize damage to equipment
and personnel.

COMMON TERMS
Discharge Voltage The voltage the arrester develops while discharging a surge to ground. This is a measure
of the amount of protection; lower discharge voltage yields better protection.
MCOV Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage. The maximum 60 cycle voltage the arrester can support for its
lifetime. The arrester MCOV must be equal to or greater than the system continuous line-to-ground voltage.
TOV Temporary Over-voltage. A situation in which the temporary line-to-ground 60 Hz voltage exceeds the
nominal system voltage. (This is a common cause of failure of MOV type surge arresters.)
Thermal runaway When an MOV arrester fails due to excess heat causing the arrester to conduct too much
current. This will only happen if the arrester has absorbed more than its rated energy.
200 Amps This is the rated operating current of the system.
15, 25 & 35 kV class These are the levels of cable insulation available in the system.

The Benefits of the PROTECTA*LITE System
SYSTEM PROTECTION
Protects line insulation from flashover due to

lightning strikes.
When applied at the entrance of a substation,

PROTECTA*LITE protects substation equip-
ment from lightning surges.
PROTECTA*LITE prevents back-flashovers of

lines resulting from poor system grounding.
COMPACT LINE DESIGN
By analyzing the characteristics of your line,

Ohio Brass can supply a PROTECTA*LITE
system that protects lines from lightning surges
without the use of costly and visually unappeal-
ing overhead shield wire systems.
PROTECTA*LITE systems help to realize com-

pact line designs with ease.
With PROTECTA*LITE, utilities can upgrade

lines to higher system voltages without costly
insulator change outs requiring more space
and possible pole upgrades.

35-
Additional Benefits of the PROTECTA*LITE System
PROTECTA*LITE has a lower continuous

power loss than any competitive product in
the same class.
Reduce RFI/TVI complaints by utilizing

PROTECTA*LITE systems.
PROTECTA*LITE arresters are the lowest

weight solution for surge protection. This re-
duces line loading and possible mishandling
during installation.
PROTECTA*LITE can be supplied to fit your

system using Ohio Brass insulators and ar-
resters.
PROTECTA*LITE does not affect line per-

formance when faced with adverse wind
and ice conditions.
Testing and 20 years of field experience

have demonstrated the PROTECTA*LITE
polymer housing is highly resistant to track-
ing and other environmental damage.
The PROTECTA*LITE design is highly resis-

tant to moisture ingress, which is a leading
cause of arrester failure.

35-
Heres what the PROTECTA*LITE System

does for Your System Reliability1
REDUCED RELIABILITY INDICATORS
Utilizing PROTECTA*LITE on transmission and
distribution lines can help eliminate SAIDI (CMI,
CMO), SAIFI, MAIDI, and MAIFI related to light-
ning surges1.
PROTECTA*LITE quickly helps stamp out light-
ning surges without the occurrence of nuisance
breaker operations that increase MAIFI and
MAIDI.
If a surge related flashover occurs on a line and
a substation interrupter/breaker fails to oper-
ate, the line can be damaged. The ensuing
outage can result in the accumulation of SAIDI
and SAIFI until power can be re-routed through
switching or the line is fixed. PROTECTA*LITE
helps present flashover due to lighting surges.
Thus, with PROTECTA*LITE, SAIDI or SAIFI
related to lightning surges should be reduced or
effectively eliminated.
At Ohio Brass, we understand how important system reliability

is, so we continually strive to provide you with the best surge
protection available. If you have questions, please contact us
at hpsliterature@hps.hubbell.com.

selection guide with the appropriate arrester MCOV for some common system voltages (line to line).
This chart also provides the best choice for MCOV based on grounding considerations. All voltage
values are expressed in RMS terms.

For higher system voltages, please contact your Hubbell representative for
the PROTECTA*LITE application that is right for you.
For effectively grounded systems, the MCOV selected is usually the maximum line to
ground voltage of the system. For impedance grounded or ungrounded lines, an arrester
MCOV that is closer to 90% of the system voltage should be selected. If your system

PROTECTA*LITE System works by limiting the voltage of a surge below the flashover volt-
age of the insulators on your system. As long as the surge voltage is maintained below the
flashover voltage of your insulation, the system is unaffected by surges. Below is a listing of

Figure 2 Four Available PROTECTA*LITE Block Diameters
Ohio Brass surge arresters use only the finest metal oxide varistor (MOV) blocks so that surge
energy is conducted to ground without compromising the insulation integrity of your transmis-
sion or distribution system. The amount of energy a surge arrester is exposed to is depen-
dent on the system. Thus, Ohio Brass manufactures four MOV block diameters to efficiently
channel surge energy to ground.
Block diameter determines the amount of energy that an arrester can absorb. The energy
absorption capability of the PROTECTA*LITE system is simply the amount of energy that the
MOV blocks can absorb without entering a mode of thermo-mechanical arrester failure.
Not sure which block size to pick? Contact your Hubbell representative. After answer-
ing a few simple questions, we will help you determine what energy capability your
PROTECTA*LITE arresters need to ensure years of reliable service.

10 kA discharge current is used as representative of
typical lightning stroke currents discharged through the

For example, if the effect of lead length was included in
the calculations and 1.6 kV per foot of lead length added
to the discharge voltage of the arrester. With two feet of
line lead and two feet of ground lead, 6.4 kV is added to
the published discharge voltage of the arrester. There-

fore, the discharge voltage of the PDV-100 is effectively

91.9 kV, resulting in a reduction of protective margin to
63 percent at 10 kA. In the case of the PDV-65 arrester,
the 97.2 kV discharge voltage of the arrester is added to
the 6.4 kV from the leads resulting in equipment seeing
103.6 kV reducing the protective margin to 44.7 percent.
The chopped wave strength of the insulation being pro-
tected is typically coordinated with the .5 sec discharge

Mounting Positions
Type PVI arresters may be mounted vertically, horizontally or
underhung, provided the cantilever moment is not excessive.
(PVI 98, 106, 115kV MCOV arresters are designed for vertical
mounting only.) Underhung mounting requires factory assem-
bly of the base mounting hardware at the top of the arrester.
Use catalog number series 3020XX3001.
The rated (ultimate) cantilever moments of Type PVI arrester
with the tripod base is 10,000 in-lbs and the maximum work-

and electrical design changes have been introduced for:
achieving more compact arrester dimensions
significantly reducing equipment costs through drastic
reductions in insulation levels
greatly improving protection performance for greater
system reliability.
DynaVar station class arresters, with metal-oxide varistor
design, provide improved operating characteristics over sili-
cone-carbide design arresters. They offer superior protective
capability and durability under natural and system-generated
surge duty.
All VL, VLA & VN DynaVar Station Class Surge Arresters

in this catalog comply with ANSI/IEEE Standard C62.11.
Description and Operation

Maximum Operating Altitudes
DynaVar station arresters can be applied at the altitudes Rated cantilever base moments are as follows:
listed below. For special altitude applications, contact your Type VL..................................................... 70,000 inch-pounds
Ohio Brass representative. Type VN................................................... 150,000 inch-pounds
Maximum recommended working base moment under any
combination of loading conditions is 40 percent of the above
Maximum Operating Altitudes figures. The side force on the top terminal of VLA arresters
Maximum Altitude Above Sea Level should not exceed 100 pounds.
Arrester Type feet meters Subbases are available with cantilever strengths consistent
with arrester strength.
VLA, VL, VN 12,000 3,600
Mechanical Strength
The low silhouette and simple columnar shape of DynaVar
arresters minimize wind resistance. They will withstand winds
as high as 120 m.p.h. with a generous safety factor.
The tallest DynaVar VL/VN arrester will also withstand in
excess of 0.2 g of earthquake shock. As arrester height
decreases at lower voltages, strength improves progressively.
Throughout the range of sizes, this exceeds general station
requirements.
Cantilever Strength
The high cantilever strengths of DynaVar arresters adequate-
ly meet service requirements with generous safety factors for
windstorms or earthquakes. Horizontal force can be estab-
lished by dividing cantilever moment by distance between
base mounting and center of force.

180 kV MCOV and 2000A through 245 kV MCOV.
Nameplates Standard Configurations

Each arrester is identified with an arrester nameplate at-
tached to the bottom casting. The arrester nameplate is
attached to the bottom unit of multiple-unit stacks.
Arrester nameplates display the maximum continuous operat-
ing voltage, duty cycle rating, pressure relief current, serial
and catalog numbers, and stacking sequence if the unit is the
base unit of a multiple stack.
Multiple-unit arresters must be stacked in the order listed on Unit Nameplate Arrester Nameplate
the base nameplate. (Stacking sequence is also listed on the
arrester crates.)
Multiple-unit arresters are also identified with a unit name-
plate attached to the upper casting of each unit. The unit
nameplate identifies the serial number of the specific unit.

Arrester Routine Factory Testing

After assembly operations, the arresters are 100 percent
tested as follows:
Starting Voltage The voltage necessary to produce 1 mA
peak resistive current is measured. For example, an accept-
able range for a 48 kV MCOV rated VN station class arrester
is 55.2 - 62.4 kV rms.
Internal Ionization RIV must be equal to or less than
10-microvolts above background with an applied voltage of
1.05 times MCOV and less than 50-microvolts with an applied
voltage of 1.25 times MCOV.
Grading Current Grading current is measured at MCOV.
The acceptable peak current range is as follows:
-- Type VN and SVN: 1.35 .25 mA
-- Type VL: .97 .16 mA
-- Type PVI: .60 .15 mA
-- PVN: .93 .15 mA
The above testing procedure indicates our diligence in pro-
ducing high quality metal-oxide arresters.

Arrester Application
The primary factor in determining the most appropriate arrester is its continuous line-to-ground
operating voltage (Uc or COV). When selecting the appropriate DynaVar arrester for an effectively
grounded neutral system, it is desirable to choose an arrester with the lowest Uc that will meet or
exceed the systems line-to-ground voltage. The arrester application example illustrates the selection
process that should be followed to choose the correct arrester for each system voltage.

Arrester Altitude Limitations

All Ohio Brass DynaVar arresters are suitable for altitudes
below 3,600 m (12,000 ft). DynaVar arresters will function in
higher altitudes but it is necessary to increase the strike dis-
tance to avoid possible flashover that can be caused by the
higher altitude.
Please consult your Ohio Brass representative for high

altitude arrester options.

(Type PVI-LP & PVN)
Construction
Polymer housings are resistant to rough
handling and will not shatter in case of a
failure.
In comparison to equivalent porcelain-housed
arresters, these polymer housed gapless
arresters are typically half the weight. This
makes transportation, handling and installa-
tion much easier.
The single-unit, high voltage designs provide
improved contamination performance over
multi-unit designs.
Closer spacing Smaller line end castings
and smaller grading rings allow closer phase-
to-phase spacing.
MOV blocks are centered and restrained
with tightly woven fiberglass filament strands
impregnated with epoxy resin.
Minimal Internal Atmosphere Will not
Breathe or leak which eliminates moisture
ingress, a cause of arrester failure.

(1) Maximum residual voltage for a 10kA impulse current wave which produces a voltage wave cresting in 0.5s. This
can be used for coordination where front-of-wave sparkover was formerly used.

and higher ratings.
PVN Mounting Arrangements

Type PVN arresters may be mounted vertically, horizontally or underhung, provided the cantilever moment is not
excessive. Underhung mounting requires factory assembly of the base mounting hardware at the top of the arrester
to ensure proper shed orientation. For the correct underhung catalog number replace the third digit with 2 or 5 as
shown in the PVN Ordering System on the next page.
The PVN arrester construction is non-rigid, and will exhibit an observable deflection when cantilever load is applied.
This deflection is normal and will not affect performance. The rated ultimate cantilever moment of the PVN arrester
with the tripod base is 2260 N.m. The maximum working moment for the 2.55-115 kV Uc is 1130 N.m. For 131 thru
180 kV Uc with the tripod base, the maximum working moment is 565 N.m. For the round cap base design, the
maximum working moment is 339 N.m.
NOTE: PVN arresters above 115 kV Uc are not recommended for horizontal mounting.

Porcelain Housed Arresters

(Type H3, H4 & H5)
Construction
Rigid, high strength por-
celain housing with a long
service history
Compression spring en-
sures a consistent electri-
cal connection between
blocks
Pressure relief rupture
plate ensures the housing
will vent out the end of the
arrester and through the
pressure relief vent.
Directional Venting: Arc
will be directed to the side
of the arrester through the
pressure relief vent.
Vacuum Sealed: Arrester
goes through creepage test
to verify complete seal.
