Qualification testing:
Aluminium
Fittings Decades of design and development experience have been used to produce
today’s TE Connectivity HV surge arresters. The construction comprises of a
number of ZnO elements, assembled within a open cage construction, which
has a silicone rubber moulded shed profile chemically bonded to the surface
of the core.
Silicone
Rubber TE Connectivity HV surge arresters are designed and manufactured to the
Housing current IEC60099-4: 2014 standard and the following tests have been
successfully performed.

• Test performed on metal oxide blocks:

Glass Fibre • IEC clause 10.8.3 – Residual Voltage Test

Rods • IEC Clause 10.8.4 – Long Term Stability Test
• IEC Clause 10.8.5 – Charge Transfer Test*
• IEC Clause 10.8.7 – Operating Duty test
Aluminium • IEC Clause 10.8.8 – TOV Test
Crimp • IEC Clause 10.8.15 – Dielectric strength of internal components

• Test performed on complete surge arresters:

• IEC Clause 10.8.6 – Cooling Test

• IEC Clause 10.8.10 – Short Circuit Tests
ZnO • IEC Clause 10.8.11 – Bending Moment Tests
Varistors • IEC Clause 10.8.14 – RIV Tests
• IEC Clause 10.8.17 – Weather Ageing Tests

• Insulation withstand tests on surge arrester housing:

Aluminium • IEC Clause 10.8.2 – Insulation tests include

Heat Sink
• Dry lightning impulse
• Wet power frequency
• Wet switching impulse

*New test introduced in the IEC60099-4: 2014 standard.

Surge Counter options

The TE Connectivity range of surge counters and
monitoring instruments are fully tested for use with any
manufacturers ZnO surge arrester.

• The surge counters, are designed for installation in the

earth connections of a single phase surge arrester.

• The SC12 can be installed to used on a 3-phase set of

arresters

• Fully weatherproofed and sealed for life they are housed

in a one piece gravity die cast aluminium case, epoxy
powder coated to enhance its already high degree of
resistance to surface corrosion.
SC12 • The glass viewing window (SC12 and SC13) is sealed in
place using a silicon rubber adhesive, and a desiccant is
enclosed to ensure any residual moisture trapped during
sealing is absorbed for the service life of the counter.

• Mounting is effected by means of an integrally cast lug at

the rear of the case providing a single clearance hole for
the galvanized steel M12 bolt supplied.

Available options:

SC12

The SC12 gives a visual indication of the quantity of surges

the arrester has received; this is via an integrated 6 digit
cyclometer.

The SC12 can be supplied with an auxiliary volt free

contact rated at 1 A - 250 V for connection to remote
signalling equipment.
SC13
SC13

The SC 13 provides the additional measurement of

total leakage current. The analogue instrument provides
a means of monitoring the leakage current through the
surge arrester and over the surface of the surge arrester
housing. Significant changes after installation may indicate
deterioration in the surge arrester or a build up of surface
contamination.

The SC13 can be supplied with an auxiliary volt free

contact rated at 1 A - 250 V for connection to remote
signalling equipment.
