Setting Standards
The 3EK7 surge arrester from Siemens offers since 1999
superior protection against power surges for the equipment in electrical distribution systems with operating
voltages of up to 72.5 kV. Besides being highly resistant
to environmental pollution of all kinds, its performance
in dealing with earth faults and its e
xcellent short-circuit
ratings are setting entirely new standards. The silicone
on the 3EK7 surge arrester refuses to allow any deposits
of pollution or films of moisture to form on it. Thus,
surface currents caused by pollution will virtually not
occur. The 3EK7 arrester is also very lightweight,
robustand durable, due to its special Cage Design.
3EK7 Design
internal pressure, since the resistors are not enclosed
ina sealed mechanical shell. Thus, the arc can escape
through the silicone sheath, leaving the mechanical
support structure of the enclosure unharmed.
The cage is lightweight design and yet it offers excellent torsional, tensile and cantilever strength: Maximum
working cantilever strength of 350 Nm.
Fast delivery
The 3EK7 series is based on a cage of pre-stressed fiberreinforced plastic rods for high mechanical strength,
reducing the risk of internal components being ejected.
In the extremely rare event of the resistors being overloaded, arcing cannot result in a build-up of critical
