Hubbell Arresters

Over 70
years of
Arrester
Innovation
Ohio Brass
introduced
its first surge
arresters more
than a half
century ago.
Since then,
Hubbell Power
Systems (HPS)
and the Ohio
Brass brand
have led the
industry in
innovation,
reliability and service.
During this time Hubbell, through the Ohio Brass brand name, introduced the
world’s first polymer-housed arresters, advanced MOV disc technology and refined
manufacturing processes. The company has obtained many patents for products and
design features that have helped keep Hubbell arresters at the forefront of technology.
Since your customers’ power is only as reliable as your delivery system, trust your lines,
substations and reputation to Hubbell Power System’s Ohio Brass arresters.

 30 - ARRESTERS

Overview
Equipment Protection is Job One – Next to your
people, your power grid infrastructure is your largest
and most valuable investment. Protect it with Hubbell
Power Systems (HPS) surge arresters. Every lightning
strike, insulator flashover and switching surge adds
wear and tear to your equipment, prematurely aging it,
and requiring you to shoulder the costs of replacement.
Even the smallest surge can shorten your equipment’s
life. Surge arresters, however, extend the life of your
system by limiting the voltage across your equipment
during a surge event.

How Arresters Work – Arresters, when placed in

substations or on transmission or distribution lines,
protect connected equipment against all types of voltage
surges. Appearing as a very high impedance at normal
operating voltages, the arrester rapidly transitions to
a very low impedance on the arrival of a high voltage surge resulting from lightning or switching activity. The
arrester, typically connected from line-to-ground across the equipment to be protected, then provides a by-pass
route for surge current and, at the same time, clamps the line-to-ground voltage to a level well below the insulation
withstand level (BIL or BSL) of the equipment. Once the surge has passed, the arrester returns to its original state,
and the system survives the event without disruption.
Advancing Arrester Technology – The Ohio Brass Company, now fully integrated into Hubbell Power Systems,
began the manufacture of surge arresters in 1950. The company had been, and continues to be, a major
manufacturer of high voltage insulators, using the knowledge and experience gained in that long history to
improve and innovate the arrester product lines, first with its own production of porcelain housings, later with
the development of polymer materials for high voltage insulation that are now used for the latest technology
polymer-housed arresters. Separately from the insulating materials development, the company was among the
very early pioneers in metal oxide varistor (MOV) technology, which is at the heart of all modern surge arresters.
It is the MOV that provides the non-linear resistance characteristic that gives the arrester the voltage limiting and
current by-pass characteristics mentioned above. Over the years, HPS has made great strides in MOV technology,
improving energy handling capability and providing better voltage clamping, allowing us to continue providing our
customers with “best of class” surge protection, accompanied by “best in class” customer service.
Our High Quality MOV Discs and Polymer Housings – We opened our MOV disc plant in 1977 to control the most
critical components of our surge arresters. This long history with MOV technology ensures that the MOV discs
used in HPS arresters will always meet our exacting standards.
Our proprietary ESPTM weathershed material, made of a blend of silicone and EPDM, resists tracking and
provides exceptional leakage distance. It has proven its mettle in some of the toughest weather conditions for the
past decades.
We perform extensive testing on all of our products to ensure that all of our arresters meet or exceed
industry standards.
These features protect your lines, your linemen and your bottom line.

Arrester Selection Guidelines

Hubbell manufactures a wide range of station class surge arresters to meet virtually all application requirements.
All Hubbell surge arresters are qualified to the latest version of IEEE C62.11 or IEC 60099-4. Some Hubbell station
class arresters are dually qualified to both IEEE and IEC standards. Both polymer and porcelain arrester options
are available, which additionally offer varying levels of energy and mechanical capabilities to meet each client’s
specific needs. Hubbell surge arresters are installed in various environments across the world and continue to
provide excellent equipment protection.

Selecting the Right Arrester for Your Needs – Selecting an

appropriate arrester requires knowledge about your system
and specific application. Factors that come into play are:

• Maximum system voltage

• System grounding practices (effectively grounded,
impedance grounded, ungrounded)
• Insulation level of equipment to be protected
• Desired margins of protection to be provided
• Levels and durations of power frequency overvoltages
• Lengths of lines that will be switched
• Mechanical loads that arrester will be subjected to
• Available line-to-ground fault current
• Environmental conditions
Standard operating conditions for a.c. surge arresters are
identified in IEC 60099-4 and IEEE C62.11, including:

• Nominal power system frequency of 48 to 62 Hz

• Altitude of 3281 ft (1000 m)
• Ambient air temperature in the general vicinity of the
arrester between -40 °C and 40 °C
• Wind speeds ≤ 111 ft/s (34 m/s)
• Vertical installation
Exposure to conditions outside of these limits will require
special consideration in the design and application of surge
arresters. Surge arrester application and the associated
service conditions are vast and wide ranging. Arresters
can be exposed to sub-zero temperatures, hurricane force
winds, contaminants and the impact of seismic conditions.
Ensuring the arrester can successfully survive these
conditions is key to ensuring longevity of the arrester and
your equipment.
*For applications outside the usual service conditions, or any other application related question,
please contact your Hubbell Power Systems Representative at 1.573.682.5521.

Polymer Housed Surge Arresters – PVI-LP

PVI-LP, IEEE Intermediate Class, IEC Class SL

Overview –
PVI-LP arresters are the most economical arrester to use on systems up to 69 kV (72.5 kV max). They are
particularly suited for light-to-moderate duty applications where light weight and compact profile are of particular
importance. Their narrow profile allows smaller phase-to-ground clearances and phase-to-phase spacings than
other arresters, making them particularly well-suited for installations where space is at a premium, such as cabinets
or other electrical enclosures and on mobile substations.

Construction:
• “Wrap” design, using fiberglass reinforced epoxy stranding to form
a wrapped envelope directly over the MOV discs
• ESP™ rubber housing applied over wrapped MOV module
• Silicone compound interface between module and housing to render
a void-free assembly
• Tripod base (Slotted 8.75 (222) - 10.0 (254) inches (mm) bolt circle)

At-a-Glance:
• Less than half the weight of a comparably rated housed arrester
• Narrow profile for reduced clearance to ground and between phases
• Install straight from the package – no field assembly required

Polymer Housed Surge Arresters – SVN, PH3 and PH4

SVN, IEEE Station Class

PH3, IEC Class SM

PH4, IEC Class SH

Overview –
Standard SVN, PH3 and PH4 station class arresters
are available for use on system voltages from 22.86
kV to 500 kV (24 kV max to 550 kV max). They offer
an attractive alternative to porcelain housed arresters
(MVN family), without sacrificing any reduction in
protective capability or energy handling capability,
for cases where the high mechanical strength of
porcelain is not required and lower weight would be an
advantage. Additionally, the SVN, PH3 and PH4 families
(up to 230kV MCOV) meet the requirements for High
Seismic Performance per IEEE Standard 693-2018.

Construction:
• “Tube” design, using fiberglass reinforced
epoxy tube overmolded with silicone rubber
weathershed housing
• Single column of MOV discs and aluminum
spacers (as required) centrally located within
housing
• Disc column held under high spring compression
between ductile iron end fittings affixed to housing
• Directional pressure relief system built integrated
into end fittings

At-a-Glance:
• High leakage distance designs (standard designs at
least 28% more leakage distance than IEEE C62.11
minimum); higher leakage distance designs available
for high pollution areas
• Up to 47% lighter than comparable
porcelain arresters
• Resilient polymer housing resistant to
mechanical damage
• Tested to 63kA rated short circuit current; can
handle reclosures with no concern for housing
fragmentation

The SVNX arresters are lightweight and are more resistant to fragmenting than traditional porcelain arresters.
SVNX arresters are typically applied to system voltages higher than 500 kV where the energy requirements are
higher than required for lower voltage systems.

These arresters are typically applied to system voltages higher than 500 kV where the energy requirements are
higher than required for lower voltage systems. If a high energy rated arrester is required for a lower system
voltage, Hubbell Power Systems can provide these. Please contact your Hubbell Power Systems Representative at
1.573.682.5521 for more information.

Porcelain Housed Surge Arresters – VL

VL, IEEE Station Class, IEC Class SM
Overview – VL arresters are the most economical porcelain housed surge arrester to use on systems up to 69
kV (72.5 kV max). They are particularly attractive for medium duty applications, where their compact profile
and strength are of importance. This feature can be well suited for cabinets, electrical enclosures or on mobile
substations.
Construction:

• Porcelain housing for maximized mechanical strength

• Single column of MOV discs and aluminum spacers (as required)
centrally located within housing
• Disc column held under high spring compression between ductile
iron end fittings affixed to housing
• Directional pressure relief system built integrated into end fittings
• Various hardware and end fittings to meet application requirements

At-a-Glance:

• Operate at altitudes up to 12,000 feet (3,600 meters)

• Designed to withstand wind speeds in excess of 120 mph
• Install straight from the package – no field assembly required
• Dual qualified to IEEE and IEC standards

Porcelain Housed Surge Arresters

MVN, IEEE Station Class

MH3, IEC Class SM

MH4, IEC Class SH

Overview:
Porcelain housed surge arresters have been the standard
in the industry for the last 70 years. The MVN, MH3 and
MH4family of surge arresters continue in this proud
tradition and they are available for use on system
voltages from 2.4 kV to 500 kV (2.52 kV max to 550 kV
max). They offer high mechanical strength compared
to polymer housed station class surge arresters.
Additionally, the MVN, MH3 and MH4 families (up to
353 kV MCOV) meet the requirements for High Seismic
Performance per IEEE Standard IEEE 693-2018.
Construction:

• Porcelain housing for maximized mechanical

performance
• Single column of MOV discs and aluminum spacers (as
required) centrally located within housing
• Disc column held under high spring compression
between ductile iron end fittings affixed to housing
• Directional pressure relief system built integrated into
end fittings
At-a-Glance:

• Operate at altitudes up to 12,000 feet/3,600 meters

• Designed to withstand winds up to 120 mph
• High cantilever strength for windstorms
or earthquakes

Packaging and Mounting Information

Packaging - All SVN, PH3, PH4, MVN, MH3 and MH4 arresters are packed in a wooden crate compatible for forklift
use. SVNH, SVNR and SVNX arrester units are shipped vertically, with multiple units bolted to a pallet and crated.
Most VL arresters are packed with each porcelain unit in a separate cardboard carton. EVP arresters above 98kV
MCOV will be packaged in a wooden crate compatible for forklift use. All other EVP and PVI-LP arresters will be
packaged in a cardboard carton.
All packaging includes proper labeling for correct assembly upon construction. Stacking bolts, when required, are
included. If needed, grading rings are packed, shipped separately, and tagged for easy identification.

Mounting holes will accommodate 1/2 or 3/4 inch bolts. Rated cantilever strength is achieved with the use of 1/2 or
3/4 inch bolts. Mounting bolts, nuts, and washers are not furnished with arresters.
Horizontal Mounting of Arresters – Many Hubbell Power Systems substation arresters can be mounted
horizontally. The first consideration is the cantilever force at the mounting point not exceed the cataloged rated
working cantilever load of the arrester under consideration. This force is a calculation of the total weight of the
arrester multiplied by 50% of the total height of the arrester.
Other considerations such as how much residual strength is available for large conductor loading, ice loading
and wind loading require a more detailed analysis. In these cases please contact your Hubbell Power Systems
Representative at 1.573.682.5521 for technical assistance.

Arrester Routine Factory Testing

Hubbell performs routine acceptance testing on 100% of arresters manufactured. Testing is done in accordance
with IEEE C62.11 and IEC 60099-4. Additional testing is performed in accordance with internal Hubbell design
specifications. If required, please contact your local representative for a copy of the routine arrester
test certification.
Arrester Routine Factory Testing: After assembly, the arresters are 100% tested as follows:

Discharge Voltage: Determined by the sum of the resistor elements, each arrester is tested to be within a

Seismic Testing
IEEE 693 is the governing standard for seismic testing of substation equipment for IEEE C62.11 and IEC 60099-4
surge arresters. The IEEE 693 standard details test procedures for seismically validating a wide range of products
including arresters, switches, bushings, and a multitude of other equipment. Hubbell Power Systems qualifies the
seismic capability of its surge arresters to Annex K of IEEE 693.
All VL and PVI-LP arresters under 35 kV rated voltage are seismically qualified by inherently acceptable criteria. All
other Hubbell Power Systems arresters are qualified by shake table testing. To be qualified, a surge arrester must
survive the shake table test with no structural damage and remain functional, as demonstrated by successfully
passing routine production tests after shake table testing.
IEEE 693 allows seismic qualification based on the concept of “qualifying equipment by group”. This concept
permits products of different voltage ratings, but similar physical structure, to be combined into groups for
qualification purposes, with the most seismically vulnerable piece of equipment of each group being analyzed or
tested. All arresters which do not exceed the listed height, mass and center of gravity for these arresters is also
qualified to IEEE 693.

Arrester FAQs
1. What is the difference between a grading ring and a corona ring?
A grading ring is used to ensure a uniform voltage distribution along the length of an electrical device. This is
important for surge arresters so each MOV disc in the arrester is energized at the appropriate voltage.
A corona ring is traditionally used to electrically shield external hardware to prevent corona from developing. This
corona could lead to degradation of insulating materials or create interference to electronic communication.
Surge arresters below 500 kV system voltage do not typically need corona rings.

2. Why are the catalog phase to phase and phase to ground clearances less than spacing in other
industry codes such as the National Electric Code?
The clearances in this catalog are the minimum distances for which the uniform internal voltage distribution of the
arrester will not be compromised. It is not the intention of Hubbell Power Systems to overrule a specific customer
requirement. If a specific end user application dictates a larger clearance the standard Hubbell Power Systems will
function properly.

3 Why are the heights of the arrester less than the spacing mandated in other industry codes such as
the National Electric Code?
The arresters in this catalog are designed and tested in accordance with IEEE C62.11 which defines minimum
insulation withstand of station class arrester. It is not the intention of Hubbell Power Systems to overrule a specific
customer requirement. If a specific end user application dictates a larger spacing Hubbell Power Systems can
supply a special arrester with the required spacing.

4. Where can I find the Design Test Report for my arrester?

Design Test Reports can be found on the Hubbell Power Systems website under the resources tab.

5. How do I know if I need a grading ring or corona ring for my arrester?

The Hubbell/Ohio Brass Engineers have performed all necessary electric field calculations to make this decision.
Therefore, all of our surge arrester part numbers already include rings if required, and you need not specify rings.
They will automatically ship with your arrester, stacked on a separate pallet.

6. Can Hubbell Power Systems arresters be mounted in a non-vertical configuration?

Many Hubbell Power Systems substation arresters can be mounted horizontally. The first consideration is the
cantilever force at the mounting point not exceed the cataloged rated working cantilever load of the arrester
under consideration. This force is a calculation of the total weight of the arrester multiplied by 50% of the total
height of the arrester.

7. Where is the terminal hardware that comes with the arresters located?
Suspension cap and terminal hardware items are shipped unattached to the arrester and will be contained in a
separate bag or box within the arrester crate. In the case of a multi-unit arrester the hardware will be in the crate
of the bottom unit.
Other considerations such as how much residual strength is available for large conductor loading, grading ring
loading, ice loading and wind loading require a more detailed analysis. In these cases please contact your Hubbell
Power Systems representative at 1.573.682.5521 for technical assistance.
When mounting the arrester in a non vertical or under-hung position, the orientation of the sheds must be
considered. If the sheds are inverted this can allow water to pool around the center of the arrester and decrease
the creepage distance. This can result in increased chance of flashover.

Arrester FAQs
8. What does MCOV rating of a surge arrester mean?
MCOV stands for the Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage. It represents the power frequency voltage that may
be continuously applied to a surge arrester.
The MCOV selected for a given system voltage is a function of the maximum line-to-line voltage as well as the
system grounding parameters. Hubbell Power Systems application engineers can assist with the proper MCOV
selection for your specific requirement.

9. What if I need a different arrester configuration than what is offered in the catalog.
Hubbell Power Systems can offer many customization options for arresters. Options include increased creepage
distances, increased height, different arrester MCOV’s, various terminal sizes, higher energy rating, and mounting
hardware. Contact your Hubbell Representative at 1.573.682.5521 for more information on arrester
customization options.

10. How does MCOV rating differ from Duty Cycle rating?
The Duty Cycle rating of a surge arrester is the power frequency voltage at which the arrester can successfully
withstand the duty cycle test per IEEE Standard C62.11. The Duty Cycle rating is a short-term TOV (Temporary
Over Voltage) rating.

11. What is the difference between a station class and an intermediate arrester?
Generally, station class arresters have the lowest protective characteristics and most durability, while intermediate
arresters perform at levels slightly less robust than station class arresters.
Both of these arresters have traditionally been used in sub-station applications. The arrester IEEE Standard C62.11
defines the performance levels of each of these designs.

12. Why is the system grounding type important to consider when selecting the MCOV rating?
The type of grounding determines the amount of neutral shift during a fault on the power system. The resulting
TOV on the arrester could cause damage unless the arrester is sized properly.
Your Hubbell Power Systems Representative can help with the selection of the proper size arrester for
your application.

13. How do I use the pressure relief rating value in making my arrester selection?
When a surge arrester fails, it will become shorted. It then will conduct the available short circuit current in
the substation.
To minimize the possibility of a catastrophic failure, you should select an arrester with a pressure relief rating that
is greater than the available short-circuit current in your substation.

14. What routine maintenance and testing does Hubbell Power Systems recommend for station class
surge arresters?
Hubbell Power Systems arresters are designed to provide years of successful service without any recommended
maintenance. Arresters do not require field testing; however, if testing must be performed we recommend that
Hubbell Power Systems be contacted prior to beginning a testing.

15. I have a question that is not covered in this section.

We’ll be happy to answer any of your arrester questions. Just contact your local Hubbell Power Systems
Representative or call our main customer service line at 1.573-682-5521.
