SAdM35z
SAdM35z is intended to ensure protection of:
• Recloser and Load Break Switches
• Medium- and Low-Voltage Transformer
• Underground Cables
• Conductor and Insulator against direct and indirect lightning strikes, installed on Section- and Termination Poles.
The SAdM35z installed in association with Metal-Oxide-Arrester provides the best possible protection for high and medium voltage substations.
1. Upper “ring” with EQ system
2. Upper electrode
3. Air gap
4. Lower “ring” with EQ system
5. Lower electrode with indicator
6. Attachment point
Operational Principle
The Operational Principle is based on the EasyQuench Technology.
The SAdM35z is composed of two discharge components and special attachment points for their mounting on overhead line fittings.
The variable length of electrodes makes the SAdM35z adaptable to any type of insulator.
