Porcelain Housed Distribution Class Surge Arresters

CPS continues to offer a full line of porcelain housed distribution class arresters. Porcelain housings have been used for arresters for many years with a tremendously reliable service history. Porcelain will not deteriorate, decompose, or change characteristics over time no matter how severe the environment. Arresters can be ordered in standard or high creepage (leakage) housings for contaminated applications. A wide range of mounting brackets and accessories are also available to customize the arrester as needed.

Porcelain Housed VariGAP Distribution Class Arresters

In a porcelain housed arrester package there is none that comes close to providing the levels of protection and service reliability that our VariGAP arresters provide. VariGAP arresters provide up to 30% lower discharge voltages and significantly higher and longer TOV withstand ability, all at a price that is competitive with any arrester today. (For more VariGAP information see VariGAP Design Technology" on the surge arrester front page)

Porcelain housed VariGAP distribution arresters are available in Normal Duty (type AZS), Heavy Duty (type AZL) and Heavy Duty Riser Pole (type AZR) designs. All three surge arrester design types have been certified to the latest revision of standard ANSI/IEEE C62.11. Arrester duty-cycle ratings range from 3 to 36 kV.
