Performance
Operating Conditions
For lightning and switching overvoltage protection of the OCS, in long-term energized outdoor operation.
Mechanical Performance
The composite housing resists pollution and tearing with fully sealed moisture protection, and withstands lead-wire tension and wind loads.
Electrical Performance
Residual voltage at nominal discharge current and square-wave current withstand meet GB/T 11032; disconnector-equipped types detach automatically on fault.
Applications
substation exits
Y5WT-42/120 porcelain-housing metal-oxide surge arresters protect against switching overvoltage at substation feeder exits.
lightning-prone sections
Y5WT-42/120 porcelain-housing metal-oxide surge arresters discharge lightning overvoltage at mast tops in lightning-prone sections.
neutral sections
Y5WT-42/120 porcelain-housing metal-oxide surge arresters limit overvoltage magnitude on both sides of neutral sections.
elevated urban rail sections
Y5WT-42/120 porcelain-housing metal-oxide surge arresters provide lightning protection for elevated urban rail OCS.
