The 3EL2 surge arrester serves to protect the insulation of a system (or of one of its components) from

undue stresses resulting from overvoltages.

Technical data

The standard model is suitable for an installation altitude of up to 1000 m above sea-level and for a

rated frequency between 48 Hz and 62 Hz.

Description

Design

The active components of the arrester are metal oxide resistors. They are arranged in a stack and

hermetically protected against environmental influences by means of a directly mounted silicon enclo-

sure. The mechanical strength is attained by glass-fibre-reinforced polymer rods which tightly enclose

and compress the resistor stack. Thanks to its hydrophobic properties, the silicon enclosure minimises

electrical discharges on the enclosure surface and thus ensures particularly good operating character-

istics, even under conditions of heavy pollution.

The flanges are made of a lightweight metal alloy suitable for use outdoors and directly connected with

the silicon enclosure.

The MO resistors are tightly enclosed by the GRP rods (as if in a cage). In the event of resistor over-

load – an extremely unlikely case, but which cannot entirely be ruled out – the resultant arc produces

no overpressure, since the resistors are not enclosed by a sealed, mechanically rigid casing. The arc

escapes immediately through the silicon enclosure, without any abrupt rupturing of the mechanical load

bearing enclosing structure. At the same time the MO resistors are held largely in place by a consider-

able number of GRP rods. The risk of parts flying off is therefore minimised.

The arresters are, where necessary, equipped with control fittings and / or shields.

Mode of operation

Metal oxide resistors are markedly non-linear - in other words, they have a strongly curved current-

voltage characteristic, which means that with the continuous voltage obtaining under normal circum-

stances only the so-called leakage current of just a few milliamps will be flowing.

In the case of overvoltages due to lightning or to switching operations, the resistors become conductive

(ohm range) thereby allowing a discharge current to flow to ground and the overvoltage to be reduced

to the value of the voltage drop at the arrester (“discharge voltage”). Here the discharge currents may

range up to 2 kA in the case of switching surges and 1 - 10 - 20 kA in the case of lightning surges.

Transportation and storage

The modules of the surge arrester are packed in boxes or crates in the factory in accordance not only

with the stresses and climatic conditions they will encounter during shipping. but also with the require-

ments of the customer.

The packaging will have the appropriate transportation and storage labelling as well as instructions on

proper handling.

The consignment should be inspected immediately after receipt for signs of damage. If damage is

found the carrier should be informed without delay. Loose parts packed with the consignment should

be checked against the dispatch note to make sure none is missing. This means that all shipping con-

tainers will need to be opened.

If the items are to be stored for extended periods, we recommend you leave the modules and accesso-

ries in their shipping containers.

All of the screws, terminals and supplementary equipment (tell-tale spark gap, surge counter) required

for assembly and installation are supplied in an accessory pack.

Note:

To avoid damaging the insulators, do not remove the assembly and shipping protector

until assembly and installation has been completed.

Screwed joints

For mounting the arrester use only the bolts supplied.

Grease the bolt threads with Molykote Longterm 2 plus.

Attention

Unchecked tightening can result in damage to or loosing of bolt

joints

Use torque wrench for assembly.

Necessary torque for screwed joints:

M 8: 18 ± 2 Nm 13 ± 1.5 ft lb

M 10: 35 ± 5 Nm 25 ± 4 ft lb

M 12: 60 ± 5 Nm 43 ± 4 ft lb

M 16: 90 ± 10 Nm 65 ± 7 ft lb

M 20: 105 ± 10 Nm 75 ± 7 ft lb

Installation

Important note: Note the following before installing:

Warning

Before any work starts:

Øswitch off and isolate

Øsecure against reclosing

Øverity that equipment is dead

Øearth and short circuit the equipment

Øcover or fence off nearby live parts

Death, severe injury and considerable damage to

property and environmental damage may result if

the safety instructions are not followed.

ØConfirm that these safety measures have been carried out.

Accessories

With the standard model, the following accessories are included in the scope of supply:

ØGrading ring and struts (as applicable)

Possibilities for isolated installing:

Ø3-hole mounting insulated Ø200 … 276 mm [Fig. 10]

Ø4-hole mounting insulated 200 × 200 mm² with screws M16 x 130 [Fig. 11]

Ø4-hole mounting insulated 310 × 310 mm² with screws M20 x 140 [Fig. 12].

Possibilities for the terminals:

Øterminal bolt, corrosion-resistant steel [Fig. 14],

Øflat terminal, DIN, all hot-galvanised steel, [Fig. 15],

Øflat terminal, NEMA, all hot-galvanised steel, [Fig. 16].

Place of installation

The range of protection offered by the arresters is restricted, which is why the surge arrester should be

installed as close as possible to that part of the system being protected. The distance between

grounded or live components and adjacent arresters or their control components should be selected on

the basis of the relevant regulations.

Note

The arresters must be installed or suspended vertically. If they need to be installed in a

non-vertical position, you should first contact the manufacturer.

Mounting the components

The individual components for mounting are shown in the drawing in [=> on page 15].

Installing of the arrester

Attention

Danger of damage to the interior of the arrester

ØDo not lean a ladder against the surge arrester.

The contact faces of the flanges of the arresters must be cleaned with a steel brush, if necessary.

With arresters consisting of several units the units must be placed one on top of the other in the se-

quence of their numbers marked on the rating plate [Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 6].

Attention

Danger of damage to the interior of the arrester

The contact faces [4/Fig. 6] shall be cleaned before installation.

Fig. 6 Surge arrester units

Attention

Shim plates between the individual arrester units are not allowed.

Before the top unit is located in place, it is advisable to fit the outer grading ring struts [3/Fig. 17],

[4/Fig. 17] and the terminal plate [10/Fig. 17] to the upper flange.

standing installation

The arrester must be placed and mounted with four rag bolts M10 on a concrete foundation or with four

bolts M10 on the support [Fig. 9] by means of appropriate lifting gear (crane, tackle) comprising slings

and lifting lugs [Fig. 7].

Attention

Do not remove the insulating tube from the bolts M12 × 140.

Put according to the drilling plan the three lower insulating sockets [Fig. 10] to the holes of the support.

The base plate and the upper insulating sockets can be mounted with three bolts M12 × 140 on the
