Product features :
Pulling Eye provides positive hotstick operation. The pulling eye strength exceeds 500 lbs of force. Insulation consists of peroxide-cured EPDM rubber that offers proven, uncompromised reliability and dimensional stability.
Molded Shield of conductive peroxide-cured EPDM rubber meets all requirements of IEEE Std. 592 for exposed semi-conducting shields.
Drain Wire Tab provides a contact point to attach a #14 ground wire to ensure the shield is at ground potential and maintains deadfront construction.
Fiberglass Wrap ensures that the MOV block stack remains in one piece and prevents the blocks from breaching the side wall should the arrester fail.
ID Band provides clear visual identification of arrester MCOV and duty cycle ratings.
Flexible Lead is #4 AWG copper rope lay conductor 595 strand (7 x 85). Ends are soldered to prevent fraying. Standard length is 36” long. Other lead lengths are available.
MOV Blocks are the same ones found in Ohio Brass overhead arresters.
application:
Our parkingstand and elbow lightning arresters are designed to mate with 200 amp loadbreak interfaces that conform to IEEE Std. 386. The parkingstand lightning arrester contains a defined interface, while the elbow lightning arrester mates with a defined interface.
The arrester installed at the end of a radial system or at both ends of an open point in a loop circuit will provide excellent protection against high voltage surges resulting from lightning or switching.
When combined with an Ohio Brass PVR (Riser Pole) arrester, optimum protection can be achieved. Our arresters are fully shielded and submersible, either contin.

Design Solution of 24kV Dry Air Insulated Ring Main UnitThe combination of Solid Insulation Assist + Dry Air Insulation represents the development direction for 24kV RMUs. By balancing insulation requirements with compactness and employing solid auxiliary insulation, insulation tests can be passed without significantly increasing phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground dimensions. Encapsulating the pole column solidifies the insulation for the vacuum interrupter and its connecting conductors.Maintaining the 24kV outgoing busbar phase spacing at 110mm,16/08-2025 -
Optimization Design Scheme for the 12kV Air-Insulated Ring Main Unit Isolating Gap to Reduce Breakdown Discharge ProbabilityWith the rapid development of the power industry, the ecological concept of low-carbon, energy-saving, and environmental protection has been deeply integrated into the design and manufacturing of power supply and distribution electrical products. The Ring Main Unit (RMU) is a key electrical device in distribution networks. Safety, environmental protection, operational reliability, energy efficiency, and economy are inevitable trends in its development. Traditional RMUs are primarily represented16/08-2025 -
Analysis of Common Problems in 10kV Gas-Insulated Ring Main Units (RMUs)Introduction:10kV gas-insulated RMUs are widely used due to their numerous advantages, such as being fully enclosed, possessing high insulation performance, requiring no maintenance, having a compact size, and offering flexible and convenient installation. At this stage, they have gradually become a critical node in urban distribution network ring-main power supply and play a significant role in the power distribution system. Problems within gas-insulated RMUs can severely impact the entire di16/08-2025 -

Implementation Scheme for Installing Lightning Arresters or Voltage Transformers in Gas-Insulated Ring Main UnitsAccording to insulation type, ring main units (RMUs) can be categorized as gas-insulated or air-insulated. The former installs primary circuit components in a sealed metal enclosure filled with low-pressure gas (primarily SF₆ or mixed gases) as the insulating medium, using cable terminals for incoming and outgoing lines. Due to superior insulation, compact size, and modular design, they are widely used in 10kV outdoor distribution substations and prefabricated transformer stations. However, thei16/08-2025 -
