TE Connectivity 35kv T-Body Elbow Surge Arresters

TE Connectivity’s (TE) Raychem T-Body Elbow Surge Arresters ELB-35 are designed to protect underground cables and medium voltage apparatus from voltage surges due to lightning and switching transients. They combine gapless metal oxide varistor technology in a pre-molded 600A T-body elbow to provide overvoltage protection in a fully shielded and submersible device.

The elbow surge arresters have a 600A interface which is compatible with any 600A bushings that meet IEEE standard 386. Installation is achieved by bolting the elbow surge arresters directly to the bushings. The surge arresters are installed by following the same procedure as standard 35 kV 600A elbows and eliminate the need for bushing extenders and 200A load break interface surge arresters.

The design incorporates an epoxy fiber module which integrates all MOV components in a single unit.
