3EK7 Distribution Class Surge Arresters Answers for energy.
Siemens at Your Service As a global leader of the electronics industries, Siemens has been active in the fields of power transmission and distribution for over 125 years since Werner von Siemens discovered the dynamo-electric principle in 1866. This early involvement led to a vast range of products for medium and high voltage applications. Global player with a strong U.S. background Since 1886, Siemens has been serving customers in the United States through dedicated sales and production facilities. Today, Siemens of North America has a workforce of over 70,000 people, who in 2005 reached a turnover of approx. 18.8 billion US$. Our customers rely on our Global Network of Innovation and our ability to deliver perfect solutions and services for any task, from single components to turnkey systems. The better choice: Distribution class surge arresters from Siemens The 3EK7 series of surge arresters is part of our initiative to supply the American market with no less than a top quality product with outstanding technical features and very fast delivery. As a leading company in the field of silicone rubber (SR) insulation and one of the few suppliers with comprehensive in-house research and development capabilities, we have developed the 3EK7 surge arrester series to offer superior protection against power surges for equipment in electrical distribution systems with operating voltages of up to 34.5 kv. 3EK7 surge arresters have been tested per the latest IEEE standards by an independent test laboratory. Their performance in dealing with ground faults and their excellent short- circuit ratings are setting completely new standards in medium voltage applications. 3EK7 a top quality product The SR housing is molded directly onto the MOV blocks and the supporting cage structure. It provides an excellent sealing system against moisture ingress and partial discharges. In addition, the MOV blocks are glass-collared to prevent aging. Highest quality materials. SR is highly hydrophobic and maintains this ability to repel water and any deposits of pollution throughout its entire service life. This results in high tracking and erosion resistance. Furthermore, the SR housing is self-extinguishing and flame-retardant. These advantages provide maintenance free and reliable service life for 3EK7 arresters. Manufacturing plants are certified under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. 3EK7 arresters have been type tested by independent test laboratories. 2
3EK7 Design ⅜ inch stainless steel stud Nut, washer Clamp End fitting Silicone housing, directly molded over MOV, fiber-glass rods and end fittings Metal oxide varistor MOV Glass coating Fiber-glass rods End fitting Nut, washer ⅜ inch stainless steel stud Horizontal cross section view of surge arrester Secure and reliable design The 3EK7 series is based on a cage of pre-stressed fiber-glass rods for high mechanical strength. In the extremely rare event of the resistors being overloaded, arcing cannot result in a build-up of critical internal pressure, since the resistors are not enclosed in a sealed mechanical shell. Thus, the arc can escape through the silicone sheath, leaving the mechanical support structure of the enclosure unharmed, reducing the risk of internal components being ejected. The cage is lightweight design and yet it offers excellent torsional, tensile and cantilever strength: Maximum working cantilever strength of 2400 in-lbf. SR is resistant to UV and ozone exposure as well as to all common organic and non-organic solvents and cleaning agents. Therefore, the 3EK7 is suitable for any environmental condition of industrial areas as well as for desert or coastal regions. Temperature range 55 C to + 50 C Application altitude up to 12,000 ft. Fast delivery Flexibility in production and in our global network of service and sales facilities provide fast and prompt supply e.g. shipment ex stocks within six days after your order has been received for the surge arresters marked with asterisk (*) (Refer to table on page 4). 3
